valvetrain noise after wot? after a hard wot runthrough 1st, 2nd, and 3rd my engine starts making very loud valvetrain noise, just like it had a bent pushrod, but it goes away after 3 or 4 minutes.
the car is not stock , i have a blower, iron block, comp cams cam and lifters and crane 1.8 rockers.
what could be causing this? could it be a collapsed lifter? should i switch to heavier oil ( currently using synth. 10w-30)?

Re: valvetrain noise after wot? If motor runs rough after beat runs than you probably have lifter pump up from valve spring control issues. If it runs fine, just noisy than you probably have collapsing lifter/s. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: valvetrain noise after wot? the engine runs as smooth as it did before the run. so if it's a colapsing lifter , what would the cure be? would putting thicker oil in help?
or do i have to replace the lifters?( please tell me i don't have to cause i just did 2k miles ago)
what lifters would be best? ( i had cranes and the suck, and i have comps right now, not the type-r)

Re: valvetrain noise after wot? the problem is it only makes it after a wot run , not all the time , so if it was a dirt particle it would do it all the time.

Re: valvetrain noise after wot? I think you are going to HAVE to tear it apart <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> and find out what exactly is going on.
You may have to put up with some valvetrain noise with some parts. I say try the Comp Magnum R lifters.
Good luck and let us know what you find.

if it is a collapsed lifter , which should i use?
i already used cranes ( used for 2 weeks ) and tossed them out cause of exssessive valvetrain noise at all times, and now i'm using comp cam's lifters ( non magnum-R).
