Message	It was honestly so loud when I first started it that I couldn't tell where it was coming from. It quieted down a bit after a few minutes, but is still incredibly loud. I could actually feel a little bit of the lifters "clacking" when I touched the intake valve cover about halfway back. All cam gears were from the same engine as the lifters, which sounded good when it last ran. I ran it up to temp, and took it for a spin down the street and back, thinking that it would get a bit better, but not much luck. Will run it a few more times before I pull it apart for sure then. Anything else I can try, other than just letting it run for a bit?
