    Valve clatter could it be timing?

    I'm about to take a little test drive but I did a couple things and took a couple pics I wanted to share first. I was reading up some on the MSD website and they say to use Copper not Platinum plugs so I went to Kragen and picked up some Autolite 25s and gapped them at 0.050 and installed...

    Cool videos, can you explain what's going on though. Is he launcjing hard to break the beam for a reaction time then letting off then back on to make sure he doesn't breakout?

    Valve clatter could it be timing?

    Got the 91 in it yesterday warmed it up then and again today to mix the tank and get it to the fuel bowls I plan on taking it for s little drive tomorrow after work. I'm still running the Rotella with Crane cam lube that I had in it to break-in the cam should I dump that know before taking my...

    Valve clatter could it be timing?

    Yes, I am following the directions from Crane on setting the preload and I'm torqueing on the low side of the recomended 18-20 ft lbs achieved betweeon 1/4 and 1/2 turn. If it was a valvetrain setup issue wouldn't it make the noise all the time not just when under load? Plug gap per all the...

    Valvetrain noise or detonation?

    I istalled a set of rebuilt E7s from a 90GT on my 78 302, they have the same valve size bit a 64cc chamber compared to the 69cc chambers of my 78 heads. Both heads use pedestal mount rockers. I picked up a set of Crane 1.7 rollers and installed them along with the E7s and a new Edelbrock...

    Valve clatter could it be timing?

    If the rockers were contacting the VCs the would do it all the time not just under load. Besides I've got tall VCs with no baffles so I guarentee the rockers aren't hittin them. OK, got a few minutes of help from a bud today. Had him on the gas watching the tach while I watched the timing...

    Valve clatter could it be timing?

    Well there is no lash on pedestal mount rockers only preload. Here are the instructions I followed http://www.cranecams.com/pdf/453e.pdf

    Could this be an issue of the highway gears (3.00:1) and this cam?

    aluminum radiators

    I would get as big as possible with a thermostatically controlled valve. That way in the winter inrestricts flow to let fluid warm and in the summer keeps it at 180. Tru-Kool makes some mighty fine pieces but there a little pricey $100-140 depending on the model. But in comparison to toasting a...

    Valve clatter could it be timing?

    Your cam has the same specs as mine except I'm using the 1.7 RRs for more lift. And like you I'm running thicker aluminum VCs and still hear the clatter, are you just living with it? The sound, as best as I can describe is similar to that of my 1st car a 69 Fairlane with 351W/FMX combo. That...

    Valve clatter could it be timing?

    OK, haven't made time to get any 91 yet but what I have done is sat in the car and watched the tach as I press the peddle. So far I have just been revving the but not slowing raising the RPM and holding it to see if there was a rough spot in the RPM range. It revs smoothly to 1500 then it...
