Cant make this valve train noise go away!

Ill see if I can get a video of it tonight.

I didnt think about the stamped arms slapping the valve spring retainers... that would make some sense considering how flat they are on the bottom.

I was going to try putting my 273 adjustable rockers back on tonight to see what it did again.

Also, I think I forgot to mention this is barely predominant at low rpm, but very much so above say 1500, and extremely loud at 2500+ under load.


Thank you all VERY Much for all the input and suggestions. I'll look into some tonight and post my analysis.
I've just built a 68 340 and having the same noise issues.tried all the above and no change in noise.I'm thinking mine is the wrist pins the bushing in the rods where plenty worn.my machinist said they'd be fine.
