[Chevelle-list] Engine noise!

[Carl Ziegler]

Sounds like either an exhaust leak or a sticky lifter to me.  My $.02

Hi!
 

  
 

I have this strange noise
during acceleration!
 

Sounds a little bit like a
bolt tapping my M/T aluminum valve covers but a tad sharper!
 

No marks in the valve covers
indicating that anything is hitting them!
 

I’ve tried to
adjust timing back & forth 16-8 degrees but it’s still the same!
 

It’s in sync with
the rpm & I can only hear it when accelerating hard!
 

  
 







Any ideas?



Pelle
