hey warrior, do me a favor & go spin the engine by hand tomorrow & make sure there is no PTV contact at all.

incase you don't know how.....put the car in neautral. take a 18mm socket on a breaker bar & put it on the crank bolt. then turn the crank 'by hand'. if you hear a clink, or any noise - stop immediately & have it towed back to the shop. if you're not careful when timing these engines when you're putting it all back together you can get a small aount of PTV & the car will still run. just rule that out to be sure.

Why the heck can't I find the video? Lidio called me as he was test driving the car and asked about increased valvetrain noise. I told him SOME is normal, but it was hard to tell without my hearing it. If it's that bad, there has to be some type of problem. I have hundreds and hundreds of my cams out there and I don't get any calls about them being excessively noisey. Let me know what you find out.

No..we were here all day...just on the phones all day. We are always swamped after a weekend , specially a long weekend. I just listened to the vid....that does not sound right at all. Thats way more than increased valvetrain noise. Let me know what Lidio finds.

exactly. warrior, this is why i was saying look at the install. i've never seen a problem someone had with their VT cams, that wasn't install related.

As said before (i think)
