Valve train noise

[dhirocz]

I put 6 dimes in mine at 685k. Did a bearing roll as well as new cams and bearings and whatnot to hold me over for the time being. Oil pressure came up about 6 psi across the board with rotella and gear oil.

Set my overhead +.001" on the clearances, helped out alot.

After doing that it quieted down alot. I had a flat cam...if you're valvetrain is noisy, you need to check your cams and overhead pronto! Noisy valvetrain could also be lack of oil up top, as well as a number of things. Sometimes exhaust leaks can also make similar noise as well.

Mine just got a new compressor. Started out making noise that sounded like that as well. I squirted a couple Spritz of WD-40 into the air compressor intake and it quieted it down for a day or so until I could get home.
