After coming back from The Steel City show I started hearing a serious tapping noise from my passenger side head on the motor. When I got home and took the dog box off I could hear what sounded like either a lifter completely hung up or a rocker arm falling of. Took it to my buddy Kirk who did my exhaust and he said it looks like the guy who originally assembled my motor incorrectly put exhaust manifold gaskets on instead of just bolting them onto the head as the Doge 318 exhaust manifolds are a "machined fit". he said I might have a warped manifold thanks to using the gaskets.

In this case the manifolds will need to be plained down flat.In any case the entire exhaust has to be dropped. I'm just hoping it's not the rods, or a lifter jammed up.

The oil was just changed last week and clean as a whistle.

here's hoping for a simple fix, having the van around a busy mechanics shop with all my mural work is a bit nerve racking.

Did he check for exhaust leaking around the manifold? One good way to pinpoint a sound like this is to use a paper towel tube to your ear and move it slowly around the area until you pinpoint the location. If the sound is near the manifold hang a tissue near the spot and see if air blows it away. If it does its just an exhaust leak.
