It could be any number of things. How many miles are on this engine? Is this a slow gradual increase in noise over time or did it just come on out of nowhere? Check the simple things first ~ your springs (they may be worn) push rods (could be bent) rockers (may be loose) etc. If you're able to rule all of those things out, I would definitely dig a little deeper in the motor. Your valves could be wearing out, could be the lifters / cam, etc. Unfortunately it's very hard to diagnose a sound by simply reading about it. Do you have access to a video camera that you could record the engine running & post on youtube so we can hear it?Lanky said:I was thinking excessive lifter wear too, what do you guys think?
