Hope you guys can help with a problem I having. My sons ta has lifter noise that has gotten worse over the last month. These are comp rs but have not had trouble for a year with them . I have always set them at 1/8 turn and ever had this kind noise. Just pull the intake off to check for clips broken but none of them where broken.We sound like solid lifters. This is with a hot cam and Le 2 heads.

 

One lifter or several, I had one on my LT1, that clacked, rattled. I have read other lt1s have done this too, but this is stock cam and lifters.


Here is what it was.

 

Are you positive it is a lifter noise, or could it possibly be the noise of a small exhaust leak?

 

Thanks for the relpy. I was thinking it kinda looks like v.float what rpm did you run up to? have not taking the lifters out but I will to check the cam . the picture is worth a thousand words.

 

No it coming from the v. covers
