Cylinder head noise!

Bummer dude! I would be hoping that its a case of the cams being bad. At least then you could maybe get away with some warranty claim stuff. PITA but at least you wouldnt have to end up paying for it...

Pita?

[asshanson]

pita = pain in the ass

Have them try some stock cams in there to see if the head is bad, otherwise send those new cams back on warranty. Maybe the caps were put back on in the wrong order?

Hopefully it didn't mess up the cam bearings :) ... err I mean journals haha.

He said there were no scaring and the caps were put into an order af how they came off and thats how they went back on..

They are going to check the cams and if they are bad then obcourse get new one's under warranty considering they have 1 mile on them..

Bought them from map.. but they said mostlikly it will be the head..

Has the head been machined? Who did the machine work?
This started to happen after you swapped the cams? Was the head pre-existing?

By movement do you mean walking side to side in the head or movement as in the cams slide around inside the cam caps?

Weird shit either way.

the whole engine war remaned and its got 40k on it.. all i did was swap the cams and they told me that he could take his hand to it and force it back and forth while it was all clamped down and torqued..

You sir are thinking of flat tappet lifters and lifters in the pushrod sense. HLA's (Hydraulic Lash Adjusters) are typically replaced only in a noise complaint or bleed down situation (or to increase RPM range/adjust for ground down camshafts).

I agree that HLA's are a good idea to swap out as they are old, but it is not required.

GSXBoy-
Have you checked your cam followers? It could be a bearing going bad/flat spot on one of the cam followers (or as others would incorrectly call them, "rockers") How are the cam's wearing in? All the head oil flow passages clean?

thanks for correcting me. I'm still in school and it's a lot of info to take in and I sometimes get little details mixed up.

Well the noise has pin pointed and I'm going to start a new thread..
