UPDATE: Getting Back On The Road

well some of you may recall a few months ago i made a post on here about getting my 88 turbo S back on the road because it was sitting around for years. today i finnaly got it running again after about 2 months of hard work (its hard with school and work)

sooo heres wat i did so far:
-Stainless brake lines
-Pagid Sport Brake pads
-Castrol SRF brake Fluid
-Cleaned out intake manifold
-checked all the belts and pulleys (they were all in really really good shape replaced 2000 miles ago, checked tension too)
-New oil filter
-Oil Detergent added to get rid of gunk
-Replaced Coolant
-Resurfaced Brakes (it was a pain finding someone with the equiptment to cut the rotors cuz they are too big for most shops)
-New mobil 1 fully synthetic 10w-30 oil
-ordering new micheln pilot sports tommorrow
-K and N Air filter
-rebuilt fuel injectors (thank you witchcraft)

i prolly forgot a few things ill add if i think of any more

there is only one problem, the engine is running a little rough and it has a valve tick (im assuming the two things are related) tommorrow im gonna put some marvels mystery oil in the oil and the gasoline, and believe it or not (ive seen it work before) it might clear up the valve tick. if it doesnt any suggestions on rebuilding the head??? think i can do it myself??? if not how much would a rebuild be???

PS and yes im positive its a valve tick

Valve tick is probably a stuck lifter. It'll probably clear up on it's own. When I first run an engine after it sitting for a while, I try to do it on some thin oil (Mobil 1 5-30 works well) to help pump up the lifters and then change it out for some thicker stuff before I beat on the car.
