[Chevelle-list] Engine noise!

[Pelle Andersson]

Now I know what it was!
A worn down lobe on the cam (#8)
I removed the heads just to check and found out that #8 had problems.
I have to leave the block for some machining :-(

No driving this summer :-/

  A sticky lifter could explain why it's running colder on #8!?
  Maybe we're on to something here :-)

    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
