valve train noise

I just installed a tr220/220/561/561,114 with 941 springs and the damm thing sounds like a sewing machine, what can I do to correct this?

Do a search...

Most people with a relatively high lift cam say their car sounds like a sewing machine. I don't think there is anything you can do to "fix" it since it is not broken! Just the way a higher lift cam sounds!

Cool as long as its fine, I guess I will just get some long tubes and drown out the noise.

Re: valve train noise

I ran a tr 220 and had no noise in the valvetrain.Now I run a tr224 with no noise.I would check pushrod length to make sure there is atleast .050 collapse of the lifter.

Could be the 941's though.I've never run them.
