It has<br>been running well but has the valves do make more noise than I experienced<br>in the past . Checking the valve clearance it is spot on. Once the engine<br>has been running for 30 to 45 minutes the noise is much louder.<br>Oil pressure is solid at 30 to 70 PSI. Engine temp stays at 170 (f). Oil is<br>20-50 Valvoline Racing Oil. <br>The rockers are from my spare engine. Head had all new valves (Stainless)<br>and New bronze guides which were reamed with a bit more tolerance. Re ground<br>cam and new lifters. <br>Any suggestions on tracking down the cause of the noise?<br><br>Bob Nogueira <br>** <a href="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net">triumphs@autox.team.net</a> **<br><br>Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/triumphs">http://www.team.net/pipermail/triumphs</a> <a href="http://www.team.net/archive">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br><br>Unsubscribe/Manage:<br><a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/kinderlehrer@comcast.net">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/kinderlehrer@comcast.net</a><br><br>** <a href="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net">triumphs@autox.team.net</a> **<br><br>Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/triumphs">http://www.team.net/pipermail/triumphs</a> <a href="http://www.team.net/archive">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/cliff_hansen@outlook.com">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/cliff_hansen@outlook.com</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
