My car is at a dsm shop in n.j. Just started it up today after refreshining block, rebuilt 1g head and 50 trim, etc........
It bachfired/chocked the first couple of cranks , but then they got it to start up fineand idle fine.. But , they say there is a very loud ( unusually loud ) noise frome valve train. Ok, the head has got 1g cams, not sure if they are turbo or non turbo. And i'm not sure if the head was turbo or non turbo either. I got the big bore lifters to stop this annoying rattling. I know this isn much to go on but here's my input and will appreciate anyone's input. I pick this car up friday evening so , would like some help/ideas to have the mechanic checkout. They were gonna pull the valve cover off and see whats going on , but i wont know anything about that till when we meet tommorrow so i can to the car home. ( not registered or insure yet)
#1 i didnt soak lifters in a bucket of oil before install.
#2 maybe its the 1g non turbo cams.
#3 a rocker fell off
#4 maybe the cam gears werent bolted to the cams properly so the timing is off
Please help, thanks guys. This car has been out of order since september i cant wait ...........
