Hi guys, I have got 350 SBC that has been stroked to 383. It is making this clicking noise, which I believe is from loose rockers.. I have heard that tightening them would take care of the clicking noise.

Any ideas guys how to do this??

Really appreciate it guys.

hydraulic camshaft? what type of rocker arms? some aftermarket brands are inherently noisy.

Well the engine had been built prior to buying the car. As per the list I have:

Comp 292 camshaft.
SRT Comp Magnum Roller Rockers.

Not sure about the ratio of the rockers, nor do I know whether they are self aligning or not.

All I know that they were not the kind of rockers that could be just tightened to get rid of the noise.

If they are hyd. you should be able to tighten them up a little. If they are Rhoads lifters, they will tick a little.
