hey guys long time ... I just put my soft top away (90GT) and bought a 96' chevy 4x4 with a 350 vortec auto,,,. I know chevy crap..it was cheap...lol...
Anyway it had this tick it sounded like a loud lifter or somethin' it would only tick when it was warm and only ticked when you let off the gas when your driving...Well the stupid thing is worse now...Now it's missing on a cylinder and backfires through the exhaust..? What the hell does that mean? A few friends have said "bent valve"..,"bent or broken pushrod"..,"broken valve spring".. ??????????
Could someone that actually knows what their talking about help me?( My beer swillin' chevy friends I don't trust)

Thanks eh...... Jolee.
