The oil pressure is decent. The recommendation is that at 2000 rpm it should be 15 psi or something. I don't have a tach, but at low idle (idle is around 625 or so if memory serves me right) it is 18 hot, and at half throttle hot it is in the 30s and 40s. At start-up it is at about 50. Also, it doesn't sound to me like all of them are ticking, just one or two. when it is idling in drive, it is hummmm TICK hum tick hummmm (repeat) When you are accelerating on the road, it is just TICK,TICK,TICK,TICK,TICK,TICK,TICK (repeat)

I'll have to check the exhaust gaskets and manifolds, but, darn , it seems that the engine is too quiet for that. You can barely even hear the engine noise over the tapping unless you really step on it. Thanks for the input.

That was 10 years before I was born, so I grew up thinking that 8N was the world's best tractor. Grandpa had greenhouses, with over half an acre under glass, and that 8N did almost everything. It was the only
