How much valvetrain noise do those of you with aftermarket cams get?
Mine's not terrible, but its more than I would like. I understand they're noisy motors naturally and the valvetrain components required for the ramp rates and such just caush more noise.
However, it did increase notably after installing the cam. The only way that kind of clickety noise will come around is if there's clearance somewhere opening up that wasn't there before, correct?
What would getting a slightly longer set of pushrods do for the situation? I imagine that's where the clearance problem exists...
Does anyone have any input? Just throwing it out there, stuck at work and have been thinking about it...
