I recently did a cam swap and the engine seems like it has very loud lifter noise is this normal on a heads and cam car (larger cam)?
I just don't want to be scared to drive the car if this could hurt somthing. Thanks again guys

This was also done by profesonal installers so I know the install was excellent just curious if louder valve train noise is normal. the car runs fabulous just a newbie to the modded ls1

It also depends on the cam... I know my TSP 231/237 actually has less "sewing machine" noise than some of the smaller cams I've heard.
