so i just took my 3mm hg off and now i got this nasty sound that from what i have searched. seems to be the tct... i am going to sandblast the worm tomorrow hopefully and see if that helps.. could it be something else too?? sounds like its coming from where the tct is and or a little where the cam gear is.. i read it could possibly scored cylinders??? or loud valves?? piston slap? i didn't hear the sounds before i took the hg off so i think its just this but was wondering if i could get some of your guys opionions on the sound. sorry for the crappy vid but its all i could get for now..

any help is appreciated

The speed of the tap is too slow to be the TCT.

Sounds like you are missing a lost motion spring. There are 8 of them, did you make sure they are all in place?

 

You can see one of the lost motion spring here, next to the valves. Dont confuse with the head bolt

 

Ouch I agree with billman, sounds like your rocker is slappin around without the lost motion spring lol.

 

i remeber checking if they were all in place, but now am worried..... i will have to double check to make sure tonight.. thanks for the input.. it sounds like its coming from the tct though??? better safe than sorry though

 

I dont think that is the tct. Do another vid with a light throttle blip.

 

it goes away when revved up.. i sand blasted the worm and it still makes the sound.. it went away for a bit but then when it started to get warm it started again... i will post another video in a bit

bump. the noise goes away as the motor is revved up
