and after i put the cam back in and everything the car makes a loud tapping sound like it has a bent valve....anyone have any idea what it could be? its too late tonight but im going to rip it open tom. and see if i can visually tell if anythings wrong....just wondering if any of you have had this expeirance.

 

Sounds like a valve adjustment is needed.

 

Any time you take the rocker assembly apart you have to adjust the valves.
