update: it is an INTERNAL top end problem! unpluged injectors and the sound did not deaden or slow down. got to talking with a tech friend when i called to find out about procedures to do the injector checks and came to the realization that they probaly did not check/repair the valve guide where i had the bent valve. and the guy probaly did not set the installed height. SO IM PISSED....

Ok still have a noise, a tick if you will. Sounds just like the old one.( was a bent valve and wiped cam lobe. I have been driving it latey and it has gotten worse. No redline, hell not really past 5000rpm. I changed Cam, Lifters, Pushrods, valve springs, and retainers and on cylinder #5 where I had the wiped cam ,bent pushrods and valves, I also changed rockers on this cylinder only. All others checked out fine and those appeared to but I changed them anyways to be on the safe side. This tick is quieter when the engine is cold and gets louder with temperature. Is also at valvetrain speed/injector speed. Valve Spring Installed Height, could that cause piston to valve contact? If so that could be my noise. If it is an installed height problem, would that be higher in the RPM range or Right off from start up? Also was originaly told it could be a valve guideout of spec. The noise could also popssibly be an injector going bad, have yet to get a noid light to verify that possibility. If there is any other information need to go with the above ask me. I will do my best to get all the info needed. Thanks in advanced Paul

alot better then what i had expected...

post the hoof im curious adn where were the boobs? nice vid tho

congrats man!

the links do not work

i really want/need someone else to hear it. i just dont want to work on it for atleast 2 months which is how long ive worked on the bitch so far.

has any one saw Captain Morgans Tattoo? what is that and is it any good?

ok during start up and running cool there is little-no noise under the valve cover the engine heats up and there is more noise so injectors are now out of the equation. im starting to question the machine work on the heads. had 2 techs at robys (shop foreman and engine tech) tell me by the sound it was probaly a bad valve guide. mac original diagnosis: no bent valves (they sealed under his head test) I told him to go ahead and tear them apart and check them (for bent valves and check the guides) and there was 2 bent valves. I have a sneaky suspision(sp) that they did not check the valve guides. if the case is that the machine shop did not check the guides and the valves are making the noise can i take the heads to a different shop and have them bill the previous shop or what do i need to do/can i do about this? this has really bent me up on this damn car. The noise is in the same location and same speed and close to same loudness. this is the last nerve for this situation. i changed the cam, lifters, pushrods, springs, retainers and 2 rockers on #5 cylinder where 99% of my noise and problems occured.(where the noise still is)

im a liqour guy absolutly hate the taste of beer always have. besides you drink to get drunk so why go at a slower pace? aftershock for straight shots crown i can shoot pretty good socialy ill do captain and cola

i cant locate a stethiscope atm but in the morning i will scope it and find out if i have an injector dieing

soo 10ish at hooters? if my problem is an injector ill come out if not dont expect me

where is this place that you speak of? cars back so i can come out again ! and id like to meet some of you people.

my electronics teacher at UTI did stupid shit like that when the carbon monoxcide alarms went off in the shop while we were in class he actually had a tin foil hat and took off running out the door... they dude pissed me off alot to lol as for that article i read a couple sentences and that dude needs to quit the acid!

cool I appreaciate it. when are you back cuz ill drive it down to your place and you can gimme a second opinion cuz it isnt really all that loud but i just want to be safe.

i just want to put stocks in it till this winter/aka afford a set of yella terra shaft mount roller rockers. how much did you say you wanted for them

it still needs a a rocker arm but i ran out of money whilst the build, but that is the least of my worries the ead gaskets held it runs so that is the great thing and 2 hours to swap out rocker arms isnt a negative im good at that lol but it makes me so proud that out of all the engines i have torn down 2 of like the 6 or so through school actually got to run so i have my confidence back now but yea installing the y-pipe torque arm tommarow and bleeding the brakes so i cant wait till friday i dont care what the temperature is the t-tops will be off!

As the Title say my camaro is fixed just in time to be stored for the winter. Fired up for the first time in a couple months tonite Itll have a month or so left so itll break in and be good for next season. I havent been this happy in a long time. Well since it broke a couple months ago. I still need to pick up a few parts here and there to get it perfect but yea Open headers sound great but they are getting capped in favor of a ORY and loudmouth so there wont be any restriction anyway just make it quieter sorta. I figured i would share paul

yea i was wondering about hwo things went through for you earlier today when i was on here. Glad to hear they went good, with the incident that happened in delaware with the stabbing or whatever of a middle school student its just sad that kids get subjected to some of the shit they do.

If it got hot enough for the aluminum piston to "melt" would the block and heads melted along with it?

Yea a couple days notice and if you dont get a lift and what not to drop out the engine ill show ya how the unfortunate guy with out a proper lift will get it out in their garage :) just gimme atleast 24hr notice man T-guages and micrometers>plasti-gage +1

did you see how far the front wheel went back in?!?! looks like it is in/through the firewall! diffenetly forwarding to others

Hooker AeroChamber is nice. Nice tone, quiet(ish) idle and cruising but WOT it is nice and loud Im starting to wonder how much I'm going to like my setup Pacesetter LTs ORY adn loudmouth

Anthony in a month i will deffiently be in good shape with my car back together running (or in storage for winter) I will be there man! I just got finished puttin the LS1 back into the Z i know how to get that bitch out with out a 2 post lift so PM for details its actually quite simple :) Just let me know when and shoot me some directions.

Sorry to hear about the detonation. If I learned anything about you sicne the time i signed up the car will be bigger faster . So good luck and may the force be with you.
