2000 v6 mustang ?'s
ok my girlfriend has a 2000 v6 stang with 180k on her. it sounds to me as if the valve were rattling i was wondering if i caould shim or adjust the rocker arms the same way as i do on my 5.0 ive never been inside one of these cars before and i dont actually know if they are even a pushrod car, ive never been interested in a 6banger.lol any help i appriciated i hope doing this will shut her up. the car and my girl.
thanks! taylor btw, didnt know where to post this so i figgured 2.2 tech was the closest thing

Yes,it's a pushrod,pedestal mount setup,and the only way to lower the rockers is to grind/machine down the pedestal (NOT what you want to do!). VC gaskets *should* be the rubber ones from the factory. Me thinks it's either a loose rocker arm,or a weak lifer. My money is on a bad lifter with that many miles.

I agree. Put a set of lifters in it. That would be the only thing that could go bad
