Crate hemi valvetrain noises
Posted: Sat Nov 20, 2004 1:58 pm
Hi folks
Have a crate 426 , but have some noise in the pass side of the block
that's a bit to loud to my concern.
Looks like a lifter is not 100% set or is bad.
Any other ideas ?
I took the camcover of and strange enough i could feel some space
between the rod and the lifter BUT ! after that first feel , the space
was gone ??? looks like the lifter had some free space first but after
i lifted the pushrod it was gone ?
Also i had tightend the camcovers , could it be that because of that the
come to close to the valvetrain ?? ( these hughe covers must be high
enough ? or not ?) is clearance there so tight ?
What can i do ? cna you adjust the pushrods with when hydrolic lifters
are in place ? ( full with oil ? )
ANY HELPS APRICIATED !!!!
Thanks !!
