Well to start my story couple days ago I did a 2nd gear launch must of ran to many psi boost and floated a valve on intake number one.. After pulling valve cover lookin for a bent push rod or bent valve found out it just pulled the rocker bolt right out of the head.. We inspected it and found out there were quite a few more threads left just needed a longer bolt so that fixed my valve problem but I notice 2 days later a slight ticking noise sounds like it coming from same area.. Now im led to think maby I got a lifter going out but thought id ask here see what you guys think.. Should of put the 110lb valve springs in long time ago now I am kickin myself.. Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks

Reason i know I over boosted is cause I read from hamilton performance's website they will pop open at 50 psi and I know I over exceeded that.. Never thought this was possible but I underestimated it..

--- Update to the previous post...

After further investigation it turned out to be a slighty bent valve..

Yes head is coming off.. I guess im not 100 percent sure but everyone that looked and listened said its a bent valve which makes sence.. My buddy said it started ticking right after it pulled the rocker bolt out but i didnt knotice it right away. I got a head off an 02 with 118k miles im having plained and valves ground going to put that on my truck should fix it..
