Noisy valves after cam install

[JohnR]

I recently installed a set of Brian Crower stage 2 cams and set the valves at 0.008" intake and 0.011" exhaust as these are the factory settings and the valvetrain is very noisy still, any ideas?

I would contact Brian Crower and get there specs for the valve lash, just to make sure. The Kseries do have a rather noisey engine bay, solid roller rockers are gonna make noise no matter what.

Contacted Brian crower, and they specified valve lash of 0.006" intake and 0.008" exhaust. This made it quieter but still noisier than I would like, however they did say a bigger cam is going to be noisier, so I guess I will have to live with it.

The K-series uses solid roller rocker design for the valvetrain, it will ALWAYS make some noise, there is no way around it.

What engine oil are you using?
