I can't seem to catch a break here new motor valve train is very noisey lots of ticking and tapping going on. Motor has new roller rockers on hydraulic lifters. Quiets down a bit after its warmed up but, rev it up a bit and you can hear the tapping gets worse. I went down to the machine shop and they said valve train is for sure noisey and they are going to remove the valve covers and check rocker and valve settings again. Im not so sure if its rocker or lifter trouble, should I go with a heavier weight oil? I am using bradpenn 15/30 or 15/40 I can't remember exactly which one. I have to say so far I am disappointed with this whole project so far but, I am not going to stop now just need to start going in a positive dirrection here.
