Ok guys,
since doing a 11:1 piston,bo's port&polished head,rj cam and kds +3 tb,ive got a taping noise from the top of the engine ??? ,sounds like the valves need adjusting,but they dont already checked them and the chain is fine.
I no my map is off,but im going to the dyno this week,do you guys think its got anythink to do with that??
Any ideas,ive tried everythink ??? :thumbs:
sewing machine noise or serious tapping?
Give Jake a shout, he might have the best insight on what's normal for that head.
i would like to help but I cant, due to certain parts you are running....
Certain people will think im jumping in to BASH on components instead to truly HELP.....
Call your Retailer....
P.s. a tighter valve adjustment will quiet any cams noise

That's not true Daniel, I have defended your technical prowess, and integrity for helping people with problems with whatever builds or parts they are running.
You are a valuable resource anywhere you go, we know that.

Sewing machine noise
forgot to say,it doesnt do it when first started,but say after 10 seconds it starts :confused:
when adjusted to spec my raptor valve train makes the same noise. Like DL said, when the valves tighten up a bit it decreases
the SEWING MACHINE noise is very common to all WEB based products,,,, tighten up your valve spec to .005- on intake and .006 exhaust..... when adjusting make sure the next size up will not slide under the adjuster thus verifying true correct adjustment...
the BIG cams are gonna be loud //// just part of the Beast!!
;)
And when you go to adjust the valves, make sure to install an HDD 50/50 cam :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Just kidding, had to go there after the last thread :lol:
check thexhaust for leaks also.
I have a bo white head with X-4 cam. Mine makes the same noise. I wouldnt worry about it to much. With the evac valve its loud even though its under the seat.
