I have an 87 GT convertible and I had a fresh 302 installed early last year. The rockers weren't hitting then, but as soon as I took my car out of storage this year, after the winter blew over I heard some heavy hitting from the engine bay. I have TFS twisted wedge heads with 1.72 rockers and stock valve covers. Is it possible that the rockers came loose? Do I need bigger valve covers? Is this hurting my engine or performance of the car? Will this eventually damage the car and is it a problem that has to be dealt with right away? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Carl
