440 break in noise from timing cover....we think....be gentle!

Brian built a 383 that was ticking at the timing cover. Broke in the cam on the run stand.

I looked at it pretty seriously could not determine the cause. They were not too worried about it and put the fresh engine in the car and ran it.

Have no idea what was causing the tick, but now that they have some time on it, it ticks no more.

If it were mine I would cut the oil filter open and see what's in it. Want to make sure things are running clean for the long haul.
