Noise after cam install (video)
Noise after cam install (video) Just finished up installed 226/234 on a 113 from EPS. Trick flow pushrods and dual springs. Thought Id post before i look into it. When I first started the car i had just a faint ticking sound, and once it was fully warmed up and after a drive around block (staying under 2k.) now it sounds like a Very loud sewing maching... Used loctitie on the rockers and rechecked the torque after a few revolutions. any ideas?

Sounds like an old hydraulic cammed car with loose rockers. I'd say you need longer pushrods. Or at least measure what you have and get a length checker to see what you need. Sounds like all of them are loose. That means no preload on the lifters. Should be corrected soon.
Just did cam springs and retainers. I looked at the pushrods before installing but after reading some posts I forget what size. I guess ill pull the covers off at work tomo night if there's not too much work coming thru. Oil pressure is fine and it only did it after it fully warmed up. I've had a light ticking sound before the swap but it seemed like normal ls tick

Often, the oil pump o-ring gets pinched or cut when reinstalling the pickup tube and your oil pressure will be lower than it should resulting in louder clatter as the oil gets warm and oil pressure drops further. See it all the time.

i put in a new oring yesterday, same issue, it was the green oring and very tight to fit.
just took a straight edge to my valves and notices the intakes are longer than the exhaust valve, darn thing never had noise before so i dont see how the valve length cause it all the sudden. any ideas.
