Heres some background to engine. So my engine was consuming oil, i had to take it all apart had a feeling it was the ss oil rings or the valve guilds. So i had them both changed out. Got the long block assembled and in the car. I turn it on and i hear a tick that comes and goes? I did reuse my chains tensioners/chains/guides. But those only have less than 3k miles.I did reuse my rocker arms and lash adjusters but i didnt have the noise before and all they did was sit in a box while the heads and short block got worked on. Also the car seems to have a little miss fire and is running a bit lean. Not sure if those are tied together. The noise seemed to go away when it warmed up then i let it sit for 5-10min stared it up and the noise was back. i also checked the spark plugs and exhuast manifolds. https://youtu.be/UpalBG13_Y8
