I should try to make a video on how noisy the engine is. It has Howards roller lifters and Harland Sharp roller rockers. The HS rockers are for Edelbrock and Trick Flow heads. I have the Trick Flow PP240 heads. This is on a stroked 440. The engine clacks like a diesel at idle, but goes away with RPM. I am thinking the lifters may have noisy tie bars, or the rockers could the culprits. I have set preload on the lifters from zero to 1 full turn, no change in the noise. No soft lifters that I can find. Rockers have been set up for the correct end play as per the instructions. I have just been living with it for the last few years. Noise has never changed from the first start till now.
