Probably... Time to kiss and make up...:D

As far as noisy, all the noisy ones I've owned(14TCs and at least 20 NA 2.3s), had problems... Number one top end noise maker is a worn cam, very common with poor maintance... Older(70s) NA 2.3s would often bust the skirt on the #1 piston...


i've owned several turbocoupes and all of them had noisy top ends.  even the ranger with a fully built head is noisy.  i check it all the time.... all the lifters are good, the cam is good, the valves and springs and retainers are all good.  they're just noisy sombithces.
91 ranger 2.3 turbo - nowhere near stock
87 thunderbird turbocoupe
06 pontiac g6 gt

Likely you hear better than I do, but I still say they should not be noisy, built, rebuilt or 100% stock...
