i installed a set of comp cams,and then new chain tensioner's with guides and when i started the motor it had a bad rattle sound along with a slapping sound! well the slapping sound stopped but it still has a bad rattle coming from under the valve (cam) covers. i need some help with this, i've worked on many 5.0's but this is my forst time tearing down a mod motor...HELP!!!!!

Did you degree the cams in? Bleed the lifters before reinstalling them?

Comp cams are known to have a few * of advance built into them and if you don't degree them and check for clearance you could end up with PTV contact.
