408 Valve train noise??
@E Satterfield I commend you for not wanting to throw anyone under the bus as far as crate engine suppliers. From your previous threads I think we all know this is a blueprint engine, and I think
@Johnny Mac should be brought in here. He is the mopar liaison for blueprint and can probably provide some insight.
Yup, no problem helping at all. for some reason the "tagging" feature isn't working for me but Satterfield my email is on my profile, or PM me.
in short the grind is a comp 20-670-4, and this is a stock iron magnum head, with stock rocker arms. they do have a sewing machine noise. Rocker arm stud torque is 25 ft lbs.
I honestly wouldn't worry too much about it unless it sounds like an obviously collapsed lifter, that is extremely noisy. I'd check all the pushrods, the rocker arms, rockers, etc. no you won't void a warranty checking over things like that.
for some reason i've found that pedestal mount fords, and mopars with flat tappet cams are just noisier than our roller cam/roller rocker engines.
i dont have a problem with 20 PSI of oil pressure either. it's a melling pump, and elgin lifters on this oldie build. this PN has been unchanged for alot of years.
if you do find a lifter is collapsed, we can send a set. no worries. just call with your serial #.
traveling this week for work, but will check PM and thread as i can. talk soon.
