alright..well idk anything about the cam i kno it has a bit of a cam from the way it runs but i personally never removed it oer anything i just took off the heads and the oil pan when i went over the motor..it needs an oil change anyway so ill probably go do that today..but yesterday i was listaning and the tapping almost sounded liek it was coming from the fuel pump? idk it really buggin me...if i ahd another car ide have the motor out of the car alredy and apart...but gota get to school lol......ill just keep fixin stuff and listanin till i get it right

 

It is fairly easy to pull off the fuel pump and check the pump push rod stock style pumps are fairly cheap. Also there should be a bolt that can be screwed in to hold the rod make sure a longer bolt hasnt been installed holding the pump push rod.

 

ok well we had the pump off whilwe the mtoor was apart and my dad put it back on so illa sk his if he changed anything...i changed the oil and there was no chips or anything..........alternators wouldnt happen to click when their going bad do they?.....ill take the belt off and try it tomarrow but its been like not recharging the battery sometimes and usually the batery is dead after the clicking is the loudest...found that out after work it was clickingpretty loud on the way there and it wouldnt start afetr work needed a jump

 

Power steering pumps tick when they start going out.

 

ok il try that today..it doesnt sound like that side of the motor thi it sounds like it like twards the front on the pass side

 

and would it tick constantly if it was going bad?..cuz this tick fades at higher rpm and sometimes lower rpm..
