Here are lots of people who has some experience with these engines, so what is that awful sound? I know it's similar to bad valve adjustment, but not in this case, because clearence is set as specified. What else could it be, any thoughts?

It´s your camshaft, you need to replace it and change the lifters

What can go wrong with valve lifters?

If the camshaft is wearn out the lifters go to ! Very common problem on the pinto. Make sure to change the oil spraybar and do the oil changes often after you changed the camshaft and lifters.

Ok, thank you both for reply. Will check condition on camshaft and lifters.
