that was my guess too, however I wouldn't know if it was since i bought the head already assembled with the cams on. I replaced the hydraulic lash adjusters or lifters and the rockers but the cams were still on, didn't touch them.
I haven't had a lot of time on my hand so I haven't been able to...
yeah, I had bought the timing kit from adtr.net so everything is new
so a bit more of an update, it was the drivers side exhaust
camshaft bolt. it completely sheared off and broke the valve cover.
it also broke the camshaft position sensor and both the head of the bolt and the plastic of the...
UPDATE: runs like new. I replaced the tensioner with another new OEM tensioner and it fixed the issue.
Not exactly sure why this happened. it might be because the heads got resurfaced and thus the tensioner needed more tension?

UPDATE: I found the issue. I know you're not supposed to swap parts until the issue is fixed but instead diagnose and replace only what is needed but I still went and bought the Hydraulic lash lifters. Wasn't it, but at least I got new parts on my new heads so it isn't that bad.

where can I buy OEM lash adjusters? mmr sells some but idk if thats the best place. from what ive seen its all...

Maybe a bit more information will help. I swapped my heads to some 9 thread heads, but I used the hydraulic lifters from the old head because the new ones didn't have...
I got an issue, my engine sounds like an 80's Mercedes diesel. not exactly sure what it is but im afraid its a valve issue, doesnt exactly sound like valve tick, it also gets quicker with higher rpm but it doesn't get louder, is fairly faint. i got oil pressure and its not overheating. has...
One side of my car is lower than the other which leads me to believe that one of the air bags is out, I look under the car and sure enough they both got a bit of dry rot or cracking but still hold some air. I want to replace them both but not sure where to buy them, Amazon sells some for half...
