I just finished a stroke motor but have noticed the valve train is quite a bit louder than stock.
Background...
4.6L Low budget stroker..
68-231-4 Comp Cam
Moper Performance valve springs.
Stock rockers
Stock pushrods
Head Milled .010"
Block left alone.
When I first fire up the motor on a cool day the noise is barely audible...sounds good. As it warms up the valve train noise begins to get louder. The shop that assembled my motor seems to think the lifters are bleeding down to quickly with the increased cam lift and spring pressure, however they lifters are the ones recommended by Comp Cams so I figured they would be the correct ones.
Does anyone have any experience with this cam/spring setup?
Cheers!
