Car is on the road after HOT cam install!

Everything looks to be OK so far. There is one thing that I'm still a little uneasy about though...There's 1 Roller Rocker that randomly makes a sound like it's hitting the valve cover, but it isn't, becuase it does that same thing with the valve cover off. I'm hoping htis is just the valve train getting steeled and will go away after I put some more miles on it.


other than that....

1. It does have a very nice slight lope to it.

2. My breakes get a little funny just before I come to a stop (less vacuum I take it)

3. I smell rich as hell....time for a mail order tune

4. Has a noticable SOTP difference, even though I havn't had it above 3500 RPM yet.

Did you get ahold of Jason about the noise? And can you tell which rocker it is that the noise is coming from?

I messaged him a few days ago...he hsn't gotten back to me yet. But yeah, I know which rocker it is.

It's the front rocker on the #3 cylinder. It's totally random and it's not rythmic with the engine, so I dunno what it is.

Also I went driving and I'm still having my over heating issue. If I keep moving, everything's cool, but my fans still own't kick on a t a light or in slow traffic. Me and Ryan are thinking about swapping PCM's to see if maybe mine is fried.
