Had to replace the water pump and the thermostat housing, as they were both leaking coolant. Fired it up, runs fine when cold and sounds great. After I reach operating temp, it sounds like the valves are ticking really bad. I’ve always done my oil changes every 3-4K miles, with full synthetic 5w20. Any help or ideas would be appreciated
