Bad Lash Adjusters=Valve Dropper

[klaw]

05 stroker post up a vid of ur car with the cams.

I have 127550's, bronze guides, heavy springs and limiters. No problems yet - knock wood!.

Idle is similar to 05 stroker's:

I'm not sure what the reason was. But I think the lifts were just to big maybe.
I had my heads inspected and there was notches cut out in the casting of my head from the cam.

Did you checked the Jesel followers?

Yes I checked the followers. Nothing was damaged think god. Those things are priced like liquid gold. Lol.

i almost had the same problem,,i would check the guides if i were you

 

[FAST3V]

could the guides be my issue? they are brand new?

 

[TexasBlownV8]

too small of guides causing valves to bind or stick?

I meant more that if you checked if they were working properly, I've been told of people having issues because of some not having proper geometry and giving issues, did or does your valve train is noisy?

my valve train was a bit noisy, but i thought it was just my limiters. at the end of the vid is a clip of my valve train noise.

That is more than a bit, which cams are these? 650?

 

[strong_j]

Yea the 650's. that's what I thought too, but my tuner kept telling me it was just the lockouts.

 

[lito]

Lockouts do not make any noise, there is zero movement after installed.

Never seen or tuned 650s myself and guess ramps may be steeper but I've seen 550s with zero noise issues so don't expect this for 650s, I would look the followers.

 

[strong_j]

Yea definitely going to take a look at them now. My cars almost finished and since it has turbo cams now if there is still valve train noise ill know what the problem is.

Off topic do u tune big stuff 3 lito??

 

[lito]

No, never touched one but as almost every standalone tuning should be easy, specially as its VE, the thing is setting everything up correctly so the system works as expected. Good luck.
