I little while ago i noticed that there was a loud ticking noise that was coming from the passangers side twards the back, the sound went along with the throttle so in other words it didint disapear when i got on the gas. I went home and parked it. the next day i took off the valve covers and noticed that my rockers were extremely loose, i had a mechanic come over and help me adjust them. we got the ticking to stop but it still ran very uneven and the whole car shakes, i put it all back together which, as usual, was a royal pain in the a$$ and the ticking is back and the shakeing is worse

i had good oil pressure this whole time
i havent changed the plugs and i doubt they have been changed for a while, like 5 years

what do i do now, stop being a do it yourselfer?

 

wellit could very well be the plugs if they havent been changed in over 5 yrs, ticking noise is kinda strange though not really sure

 

it might be the plugs but it was driving fine then all of a sudden it wasent

 

I'd be finding out why the rockers are suddenly getting loose. How many cylinders is it happening on?

 

its happened on all 8 cylinders

 

I can't imagaine all 8 lobes wiping at once.
