Just finished complete rebuild on my 1992 eagle talon tsi awd motors back in cranks up and runs fine. BUT there a clicking from under my valve covers sounds like the valves. and about every 25 seconds there's a small pop like a cam just letting a valve slam shut kinda. It never gets louder or quiker in succession I haven't narrowed down where its coming from definitey top end somewhere (Might be my power steering pump making the pop or alternator they have always been noisy.... and yes I plan on replacing them)
Here's everything I guess could affect the valves:
-forged rods and pistons wiescon 8.3:1
-new oem valves
-brian crower dual valve springs
-HKS 272 cams (used...idk how long or mileage on them)
-adjustable cam gears (still in the normal/home/factory position)
EVERY seal/pump/gasket on the motor has been replaced
No smoke
The motor at TDC lines up like it says in the haynes manual with the cam gears dowels pointing up (done 4 dsm timing belts jobs pretty sure its on there right)
Oil pressures fine. Picks up and runs fine. I obviously can't push the car too hard. It only has 2 miles on the new motor.
There's no metal flakes or shavings in the oil
Any ideals or if you need more info to help me figure out what's wrong let me know
