So I have been trying to find the source of this noise ever since I installed my bc stage 2 cams and ferrea beehive springs. I've checked oil pressure and compression. Both good. I've replaced the tct with one from billman. Still there. I only hear it at idle and slightly above. Anything over probably 1500 rpm and you don't hear it. There is a video in my thread in the under the hood section titled "help-tapping noise after valvetrain install". I still think it may be the chain slap I've seen talked about with these cams. Does this happen to everyone who has run these cams?

Who installed them? And does that person have experience installing these on the s2000?

stonesilverap2

I installed them myself.

Tow your car to a professional before it cost you big$$$

So just because I put them in myself, you automatically assume I installed them incorrectly? Anyone have any real information?

JUSTINTHECOASTIE

Yes because you think you installed them correctly. I am trying to save you a headache. Your issue can NOT be diagnosed over the internet. Please take it to a professional shop before you cause costly damage. If you knew what you were doing, you wouldnt be posting questions....just saying

I asked if this is a common issue in this car. I have double checked that everything was installed correctly. I have done several tests to narrow it down to a certain area, which I believe is the tct. It would explain why I only hear it at idle speeds, when oil pressure is lowest. I appreciate your concern, but have no reason to believe it is anything that I did incorrectly.

Great troubleshooting...i am beginning to have faith in you

Depending on what mileage you got, the chain might have stretched a little.
