Howdy ladies and gents.
Well as the topic states, I just did a gt40p swap on my 95 stang and I've got some valve noise. It gets worse as the car starts to warm up. It almost sounds like the heads aren't getting enough oil. (My guage is malfunctioning so i'm not sure) The heads were milled, ported and rebuilt with all new parts (springs, lockouts, valve guides and seals.). I went with comp cams dual springs because I was going to put in a cam but got lazy during the install and left the stock one in for now. I reused my lifters, and my stock stamped rocker arms as the original setup wasnt making any noise at all, and I am on a budget. I did however replace the pushrods with comp cams magnum pushrods that were identical in length to the factory ones.
I'm not sure what this valve noise is, but its unnerving as I have to drive this car across country in a few weeks (1600 miles). Any ideas as to what this could be?
Thanks,
Brian
