What should an engine sound like?

After the break in the oil looked odd to me, but I made another thread about it and came to the conclusion that is was moly paste,....

and LOTSS of assembly lube was used, as you can see I am a tad paranoid when I am unsure about things :D

I hope all is well, because as a student I cant afford to built it again!

Just some hindsight...

Maybe not use as much assembly lube next time, as the excess will just end up in your oil pan...



I would take the valve covers off and inspect the valve train. If everything looks good, then put it back together and it's probably just the way that your parts are supposed to sound. You say that it's not louder than the air intake for the carb, so it can't be too loud, or anything to worry about if your inspection goes well.
