First start after cam

I finished up my cc503 cam install today and it started up fine and ran fine but there is high treble sound coming from the engine area. I can hear the sewing machine sound from the roller rockers. I am thinking that maybe they could be hitting the valve covers. I did cut some of the baffling out of them maybe not enough.

The sewing machine is very typical. Anything more than that and it's worth your while to at least pull the drivers rocker cover and take a look.

Not to hijack, but what other rockers are recommended that are as good as the pro-mags but not as noisey?

I readjusted the rr and all is quiet now. I did get a tune from ion (madtuner). It is nice and quiet now. Here is a link to a video of it.

I took some more video tonight one is at 750rpm and the other is at 800rpm. Not much of a difference. I love this cam sounds. http://gh94z28.diinoweb.com/files/ they are a little smaller so they should open faster.
