Noisy roller rockers

QuantumMotorsports · 01-20-2004, 01:11 PM

Everyone has told me that roller rockers are just a little noisy. How noisy are we talking? When the engine first starts they aren't that loud which is odd. But after running for a little (or maybe it's after my ears get used to the loud *** exhaust I start to hear the roller rockers kinda clattering softly. It just sounds like all of them are kinda noisy. Is this normal? I think I might try readjusting them soon.

Tough to say,....put on your exhust, then see how loud they are. I would not start it until then, just to make sure.
Good luck

I think you should try re-adjusting them. With a Hyd. cam there should be very little noise. Its odd its quiet when you fire it up then they get louder though, it sounds like an oil pressure or oil problem. Try changing the oil to.

Don't go off of just what I said

. I don't want to claim responsibility if something is wrong with yours

. However, like I said, mine chatter some and from what I have heard, it is normal.
