i am so stuck.

i have a 86 22re turbo motor in my 85 pickup. my pickup had a stock 22re with snaped rod. reason for the new motor.

when i bought the 22re turbo it had a tick sounds like a valve so i figured i would put my stock head on and have a turbo motor.

PROBLEM:the new head still ticks

when i took the head off the turbo motor the 4th clyd. intake valve was stuck down and the pistons and valves were caked with crap.( lots of it too)

i have check timing and replaced rockers,check lash,watched for stuck valve.

i dont know what else to do plz help me.

the friend i bought it from just rebuilt turbo but said it may be tick as that someone told him that? possible? i donno?

bottom end??

it has a hesitation too.

 

I've never seen anything that would hold the valve down enough so that you could see it..

Are you sure your tick isn't an exhaust leak related?

 

yes the tick is loud and new exhast gasket.

 

An open intake valve will do the same thing, but I doubt that's your issue... No idea really..
