New engine noise
I yanked the pan and added more oil to the cylinders from the bottom and to the cam. I flipped it back around on the stand and put more into the plug holes. Still the same sound.
Yanked the rocker shaft … bottom end is quiet.
Waiting for my valve spring compressor to come in. Even if the seals were dried out I am having a hard time believing they’d be this loud… unless they somehow shrunk significantly. They were brown with a metal sleeve if that’s any indication of material
I wonder if I should stick with stock umbrella type or try for some better positive type.
