[QUOTE="Yossii, post: 16184086, member: 192756"] If you can/want, check my YouTube for my first start videos, and my other videos to hear the sound, you could hear it on the very first start up. It makes sound a few seconds AFTER I start it up, NOT IMMIDENTLY, a solid 3-5 seconds then it starts that sound. NOTE*THE SOUND HAS SWITCHED POSITIONS LIKE I STATED, went from Driver side valve cover to mow the passenger side Valve cover* it only makes it at idle, when revved above like 1500 it goes away. It also goes away after you drive it I have noticed, The engine also shakes a bit, you might notice it from the video, what the hell makes the engine shake that bad?? No vibrations felt through the steering wheel, BUT some are felt through the shifter. I doubt it is an exhaust leak., and yes it accelerates REALLY smooth to my surprise, ive only taken it to 4000rpm, but man it’s hard to stay under 4000rpm she eats the Rpms like it’s nothing, def has the power I expected (I’ve only been to half throttle pull from 1k to 4k). No compression check has been done. TOMORROW I do plan on getting new spark plugs and checking to see how those are doing( I checked 1 and it looked like it was running rich, but looked great). EDIT- also I watched the guy build the engine, I don’t think he degrees the cams, if I’m correct he just lined the dots up on the cams and put the timing chain on, but I don’t know if that could cause PTV, also I don’t even know if that is PTV because it goes away past 1500RPM. One thing I can say is she sounds like a Sexy Cummings, purring when she is warmed up. ALSO, it’s a top end only sound, you really can’t hear it if you stick your head under the car. ALSO IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SOUNDS WHEN JUST CRANKING. Cranking may not spin the motor fast enough to hear the noise, but there’s no noises when just turning the engine. [/QUOTE]
