A tapping type sound it is like you have a loose rocker arm and it slapping on the valve stem.
It only realy can hear it a cold strats after it warms up you can barly notice the sound But I do I know it's there but you have to listen for it.

I been trying to find a tapping sound the motor has about 7000 miles on it CC Ultra Magnum pro Steel full roller arms.
The rocker arms do make some noise but this not where the noise is coming from. I replaced the roller lifters with GM LS7 lifters, Put new push rods in it just in case checked push rod lengths there good and as long I had it apart. Tried many times to readjusting the valves preload. The distributor has a Composite gear on it for the Roller cam. Used the screwdriver to ear trying to find where the noise is coming from just can’t find it you can hear well thought the rear of the plenum area. At first I was thinking it was a intake valve slamming close but they say the LT4-hotcam should not make this noise because you can hear it in the rear plenum area. I was thinking it could be a bad bearing in the Distributor it’s pretty loud during cold start up after warms up it is still there but not bad but it is still there. Just makes me nervous knowing it is not right it has made this noise from day one when fired up this motor. I don’t have a spare Distributor to find out this is it I want to buy a new distributor but if I have to fork out the money might as well buy a nice one MSD Malory DUI which one to buy the car rev to 5500 RPM’s it is a street car. I would like the smaller distributor cap makes things easier to get to and work on would be a big plus.

Well yopu have it torn that far down to put a cam in it might put a set heads to make the most of all the new stuff you need to get retuned for all the add ons anyways.
How many miles on the bottem end if lot might pull the motor and put a stroker in it easy 40 More H/P. Oh ya now you need to beef up the trans if is a auto. What I saying it be a never ending story.

Took the car up on to the Hwy at 55MPH same amount of drone very little as at 45 MPH very nice at 70 legal speed limit you can hear it but not much 70+ it the same as 70 MPH not saying I was speeding that be wrong of me to speed.
Now you can drive the car long distances without going deaf doing so or have your ears ringing after you get out the car for next couple hours any more. Just to recap these are Not the Borla Stingers Part # 11134 are the slip on type mufflers.

I work on a military base everytime I pulled up to the gate to go in with no mufflers thet just looked at me funny.
Like I said I enjoyed the 2 chambered mufflers at idel but just about every thing else it just gave you a headach after 30 minutes or so.

Took a drive down to the local donut shop across town the car sounds liveable from the inside of the cab it mostly a 45 MPH drive where the car had a lot of headach causing type Drone not there anymore I have not had it on the HWY yet.
But at 55 MPH it was a very bad drone before I think if there's going to be any at all it be very little. Ya Ya I dont want to hear it 55 MPH you have to go that slow every now and then when it the speed limit when a Cop behind you, Stuck behide someone else thats doing 55 or just could be one of those days LOL.

If I was you look around on the diffrent Fourms for a set of used shocks I picked up a used Koni's with less than 1000 miles on them for $200.00 for all four the person that had them went with a coil over system and didn't need them any more.

How many QT oil pan are you using.
I have read if you use a 5qt pan a HV oil pump will suck it Dry at high RPM's. You need to use a larger oil pan with a HV pump.

Run a shit load of water though it then use some heat so the case expandes if that dont work try to frezze it then heat it back up,So it shrinks and grows so it will break the seal.

I useing a center Pick up on mine I didn't like the offset pick up mainly if you had to pull the pan when the motor was in the car it willn't come off.
getting to the bolts with a kick out pan is fun enough by it self. I pulled my pan off after break in to give everything a once over couple of the bolts were not fun. I using my Kelvo pick up. But most of us dont drive the car to it max in long sweeper conners for long periods of time for me a interchange or on or off ramps thats about it. Quote:

I heard good on Patriot.
I think Pete K on anouther Corvette fourm built a motor with them but I think he upgraded the valve springs the springs that came with thew head would not handle the Lift of the cam they used. On my TF heads they worked good on the 355 when I built the 383 I also when to a higher lift cam And I had to put better springs on mine to handle the cam. Just because the heads can flow 9000 CFM's do you realy need a head that flows that much CFM's. Or save some cash get the cheeper heads that flow what you realy need thenn for. My heads say they flow 256 with .600 lift I sure more CFM's would be nice but again how offen are you gong to reving the motor that high to need them to flow that much. And on a stock 350 I dont think you be reving it to the moon bigger the cubes you will need more CFM for the same RPM to get it to work. Unless you build a Monster forged 350 that youre planning to be a screamer if you're going to dump that much cash in to it might as well build a stroker not for that much more and pick up some easy HP and Tq at the same time.

I been using m Knock off china 8QT oil pan for 1.5 years no never gave me a bit of problems.
I also have a Kelvo 5 qt oil pan Yes the Kelvo is a better amde pan but they both hold oil I dont race the car it my weekend fun car when the weather nice it my DD to work and back. Just because it made in china dont mean it bad a oil pan just holds the oil as youre claiming the oil doors are set up for left hand turns I looked all that before I put the oil pan of the car it had the same set up as my USA made Kelvo pan. I would not use China made rocker arms ect but a pan is a pan. Like if you had couple cup in your house and someone put a blind fold on you and didn't tell you it was made in China and the other was made in the USA you would not know the diffence drinking out of the both hold beer.

If they are bad put hard lines back in.

I running a High Volume pump and a extra oil cooler in front of the radiator you want to use a oil pan that holds more oil a stock 5qt pan will run dry with a high volume pump I also grove my distribetor housing to get more oil on the Camshaft gear for better lubacation and drilled a .005 hole it the front oil plug to get more oil on the timing chain gear set thats why I runing a HV oil pump.
As for the Pick up The oil pan comes with a oil pick up but once the motor is in the car you can't get the oil pan off unless you bend the pick up it go's into the oil pan kick out on the Passenger side. I put a oil pick up that sits center of the pan just in case. (I had one from the 355 motor that use to be in the car). I also think the stock pick up should still work But if you use a HV oil pump make sure you get a pick up for it. I have used a stock type Starter will fit but it went bad now using a Jegs Mini starter it can handle up to 12.5 to 1 compression much easyer to ge in a out if needed. As for headers I running TPIS full lenght headers they clear fine I also run the Auto trans line on the top side of the oil pan kick out with no issues either. You can run the stock cooler that runs to the Stock cooling system and a extra oil cooler but you must use a short filter I think I still have the part Numbers still if you need them the stock filter with both cooler will sit about 3/4 below the bottom of the oil pan. I ran this set up on my 355 motor, I removed the stock cooler on the 383. (I had problems with hot oil with the 383 I dont know because I removed the stock Oil cooler thats when I installed the aftermarket oil coller Now it nomaly runs 13 to 20 dergees more than the water temp. I also using a Champion 3 core radiator the car use to get hot up[ on the HWY I think it dur to the 383 and weather during the summer time it gets hot out here 104 Plus. But in the winter time it run on the cool side.) Quote:

If I was going to buy a new set of heads I would use these.
http://www.profilerperformance.com/ra ... linderheads/sbc-23-degree These heads flow 308 for the moeny it are a good deal. I running trick flows now I didn't know about the other heads when I pruchased the Trick Flows http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-162109/ http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TFS-30400002/ http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-162108/ http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TFS-30400003/

Whe I built my last motor before the one I have now it was a 355 mild cam ect but the place who rebuilt my 700r4 and end up getting screwed from them put the wrong stall convertor the car never would come out hole hard at all felt very lazy, I asked them for a 2200 Stall convertor I think they put in a 1600 Stall the motor was a dog.
After getting the car up on the HWY and getting the rev's up the car woke up this was with 195 Trick flow heads. The motor I have now 383 LT4 hotcam same 195 heads and 2500 Stall convertor the convertor lets come out the Hole hard. I think If I had the higher stall convertor with the 355 mototr I would been lot happier with the 355.

I would run 62 cc heads you wont lose that much compression but the better flowing heads will make it for and the gains would be worth it.
Good cam let the motor breath you be much happier with it. If you realy want to max things our redo the bottom end to macth what you want the motor to put out. If you're ever planing to make it a 383 or larger out of it go with the 195 heads. If you go with the 195"s and you want more low end put a higher stall convetor or If a manual rev higher before you side step the clutch.

Nope when you forget the fitting the line you spent hours to get it right is junk start all over again Ya it get you mad.
With any luck it will be time to go home for the Day LOL. We have a CNC tube bender it good if you'r making bunch of the same lines or you have a titanium line you can't bend with the manual tubing rack bender. But setting up the CNC bender is a pain in the you know where.
