Checked for exhaust leak and oil looks clean. It’s all the time but I can only hear it clearly on deceleration because it’s hard to hear over my exhaust.
You didn't mention how much preload on your hydraulic lifters.
They were set by the machine shop that built yes motor. I don’t know how much they have
Hydraulic or solid lifters??
Hydraulic lifters
That’s handy! Thanks
I actually ordered that sticker and it should be here soon to slap inside my engine bay... I have solid lifters so it's just use a feeler gauge, but with hydraulics you go through that procedure and I think the deal is you should be able to loosen the lifter adjustment until you can spin the pushrod in your fingers freely and then tighten it down till it just touches and stops the spinning motion that you're putting on it and that is right at the top of your preload. Then you tighten it another half turn or so to set some preload.. lock adjuster and move on...
The noise is actually not valve train. A bolt the holds the flex plate to the converter stripped out and loosened up. Hope I can fix it
Read much? The threats are stripped out.
I’m thinking about replacing the converter because truthfully the car needs a higher stall. Helicoil would probably work though
Yep something like that
