Alright I know there are other threads about this but I was just wondering how much valve train noise is normal. I can hear the clicking from inside the truck at an idle with the radio turned town. It's not crazy loud but it's definitely there. Truck has the l33 block with stainless long tubes so I know that doesn't help keep the noise down. It's got a comp cam sns grind cam 223/227 duration with .610/.613 lift, dual valve springs, ls7 lifters, and hardened pushrods Im almost positive that the pushrods are the correct length. The truck has 243 heads on it as well. The clicking is the worst are 1500-2500 rpms up above that range the exhaust drones out the valve noise. Any insight or opinions on if this is too much valvetrain noise would be appreciated. I know these motors are noisy but I just want to be sure.

 

what type of lobe is the cam utilizing? I am going to say more then likely it's normal.
