roller rocker noise..?

PrplMonster · 08-09-2001, 06:34 PM

My roller rockers make a little noise, they aren't underadjusted and have about 4k on them. The only way i can descibe it: It's like a churning noise. I do have a pretty high lift cam. any suggestions..?

If it sounds kinda like a skateboard wheel free-spinning, it's normal. Otherwise, the needle bearings may be wearing prematurely. Only thing you can really do is have one checked.

Take care

Honestly i have checked them while mounted, and they have no wobble, but who knows under force. It's not a concerning noise, My car was alot louder than it is now, so i don't remember if they made the noise originally. Like i said the only way i can describe it is, it's like a RrrRrrRRrrRRrrRRrrR with emphisis on the RR's and rr's. I have seen the after affects of a roller rocker explsion..so i guess you can say i am on the lookout. How else would i be able to check them chris..?

Other than "feeling" it, not much. look at the roller tip and make sure it still spins freely. You can also try backing it off and feel for side to side travel.

Take care
