This is not directly spitfire related, but this is my official spitfire support 
vehicle....:-)
Yesterday I noticed when I started my 1979 Ford 351 V8 powered Van a valve was 
ticking.  It stopped after just a few minutes.
This evening I noticed the ticking again and it didn't go away nearly as soon, 
it went away all of a sudden about 15 minutes after startup.  Long after the 
engine had warmed.  It went away all at once.  
What causes this?  Is it a serious problem?  Do the valves just need adjustment?
Thanks,
