engine noise

Thanks again for the replies.

I had the intake off on Sunday. I was hoping to find something easy and obvious. The spider and all the dog bones were there. All the lifter oiling holes were facing towards the cam shaft. I didn't see anything obvious.

I put it back together and it doesn't sound better. But also it doesn't sound worse. I was worried about re-installing and torquing down the rockers.

I put it back together so I can take it to a mechanic to look and listen to it. I think I've reached the end of my patience and mechanical abilities.


I should have snapped more pictures of the valley but I didn't. I just took a couple of the cam to see if the lifters may be hurting the cam. Does it look ok?
