1 valve sounds louder than rest I have a torquer v3 cam in my car with prc duals.
It seems to me that one side of the engine makes a louder noise when revved. I am wondering if this is probably a broken valvespring or something like that.
I have broken 3 of these things in the past so ill pull the vc when i get a chance and look. is there anything else to look for?

I pulled the valve cover and all the springs look normal and functioning. Nothing is broken. I am almost positive one of the valve setups is still louder. How could i diagnose any problems?

Couldn't you pull the plug wires off one at a time and see which cylinder it is? It might give you a starting place. You can put a little pressure on the rocker arms with the valve covers off with the engine running and see which valve it is. But your gonna get oily. Could it be an exaust leak on that side that sounds like valve train noise?
