Just installed my 270 Comps with new springs and checked base circle which was .020-.022. Bled down the adjusters a few times and it runs awesome with a T&J tune and screams like a banshee but the motor sounds like a sounds like it has a solid cam with a few lifters waaaayyy out of adjustment

I know i've seen posts on this before and I'm hoping it will go away. The car has run for about a half hour and I put about 5 miles on her with no change in sound that I can tell whatsoever?

BTW In the last week I've added Flowtech Longtubes with off road X, Dragon
plenuem, Accufab 75mm, 4:10 gears.... The headers and valve springs were a complete joke but I Have lived to tell about it!

Most aftermarket heads/cams have alot of valve train noise. It is normal for you to have it most of the time. As long as there is no knocking or pinging and everything is set right you are good to go.
