I'm also curious as to what the - number means after the 360.

I used two sets of comp lifters and now have the lunati cam and lifters in it. It has about 1K miles on it and still runs great but still has that annoying noise in it.

I started a thread on here a few years ago with the same problem and got a lot of good responses but never found the problem. I have the same scenario with a roller block ( '89 360) with flat tappets and the noise seems to be drivers side near the front. I changed header gaskets 5 times tried 2...

No, they are not wet, but i would put a little silicon on the threads when you put them back in so oil doesn't seep out. I did the same thing you are doing just last weekend.

May I ask what you mean by "jumping time" when you describe an irregular reading on a vac. gauge? Last time I hook up my gauge the needle was just a blur that looked like it was about a half inch wide. Thanks!

Ok, give me a little bit of a break here. I'm not a rocket scientist by any means but come on! I work in a machine shop where we perform maint. on 250K$ injection molds that have .0002" tolerences. All of my clearences on my rods and mains were dead nuts .002". I got my new clevite bearings...

Yes

I just wanted to update this thread since I completely dissasembled this thing yesterday. Number 5 main bearing was badley gaulded but it wasn't spun. This was the very last thing that I thought the problem was as I have heard bad bearings in the past and the were always noisy at start up and...

Not trying to start an argument here but they do make helicoils for pipe threads and they do work fine with a little sealer. I do not know if they make them that small though, the smallest I have ever used is a 3/8.

You might check your old oil galley plug that is just behind your cam chain, mine had about a .040 dia. hole in the center for chain oiling.

I have the sfi external balance flex plate and neutral balance convertor. I did check the thrust on the crank when I built this motor and it was within spec,( .010 - to .014 is what comes to mind but don't quote me on that). I wish I had used a better quality convertor than I did, I haven't read...

No I didn't, if the new remflex gaskets don't fix this I will tie a hose by the slip fit joint and run it through the window and head down the road and see if I can hear anything and I do appreciate your help very much. Right now I'm waiting for these gasket and as soon as I get them on I will...

I can't hear the noise at idle at all, It has to be in gear accelerating. I have even put it in neutral rolling down the road and reved it up several times but still don't hear it then either. To answer a couple more questions, I adjusted the rockers to zero lash then went .030" or 3/4 of a...

One more thing, I did go as rich as possible on the chart with just metering rod changes with out changing jets. The next step would be jets and rods, I will take a look at this also.

When I say it's much more noticable under acceleration I mean 0 - 30 mph over a long distance, I don't have to be hammered down. The rythem of the noise is as if it is one cylinder or one lifter. I did advance the timing to 18-20 initial and that pinging was a completly different sound. With...

I think I will try a set of these remflex gaskets and see if they take care of the problem. These heads do have the small ports under the exhaust ports but I tapped them 5/16-18 and installed set screw w/loctite when I built this thing. I appreciate the responses from everyone and if there are...

They are indeed comp lifters but there was no change in the noise at all when I put in another complete set. Both times I broke them in as suggested,I do realize it's not a good idea to change lifters but I'm at the end of my rope here.

A couple more things, it has a 904 tranny w/mp 2500 stall, tti headers and 2.5" exhaust w x pipe.

I'll start with the build, 360 LA block, 308 heads, comp xe268 cam,273 adjustable rockers, kb pistons,rpm intake, 650 eddy carb. I have what sounds like a lifter noise that is much more audible under acceleration. I have adjusted the valves .030 past zero and rechecked them several times. I then...

Mancini Racing has the gasket kits but not sure about the bolt.
