IMM Engines 408 build

After we dyno an engine, I always listen to them, with and without ear muffs...especially around the valve cover area. There was no noise at that time...and if there was, this engine would have been super easy to fix a lifter issue, as we removed the intake manifold and shipped it without it (Marland was using his intake). So that would have been really easy to fix. Sorry for your troubles, but honestly it was fine when it was shipped. Don't know what else to say....

I'm not overly upset about it... like throwing things and such..lol
Crap happens ... but it seems to always happen to me.
I don't know if it has anything to do with it but I'm using 10W/30 Joe Gibbs Driven oil.
Oil pressure always looks good.
Sometimes the tapping goes away and the engine runs silently .... I mean most of the time there is no tapping. I just got lucky and caught it while I took the video.

What's you opinion on Rhodes V-max lifters?
If I use these they are adjustable, more vacuum, and torque... so they say.
I'm afraid to use low quality lifters now and it seems like these lifters don't give any trouble by what others have said. I realize the have a mechanical sound... I don't think that will manner but I have never heard a engine with these type lifters.
