I have a 2002 gt and installed a set of comp cams. after the install i know have a knock noise only at idle as soon as you give it a little gas the noise is gone. i was told it is just the cam tensioner at idle slapping. has this happened to anyone else????

is it a possibility that it could be a cam tensioner?? the reason i ask is that my noise goes away at any rpm besides idle, that forum says that there noise stays and that they hear it at different rpms
