I've been trying to determine what the culprit of this top end noise is for a few months now. I finished my turbo install, then shortly after blew a head gasket (uneven deck surface). I fixed that, got the motor back together, then shortly there after had this noise start.
It sounds like its coming from the upper end of the passenger side head. I pulled the valve cover and didn't find any rocker related problems.
My only guess is it being a faulty lifter, but I'm not sure how these hydro roller lifters work. If one had collapsed, would the pushrod at that valve have a lot of slop in it? Because all of them were tight.
This video is **** quality, but I figured its better than nothing. Anyone have any input, I just want to enjoy some boost.
