While you guys have been nattering about this silly cam noise I have rebuilt my 2.8 in a weekend including new timing set, cam, lifters and 1.6 rockers. I have no valvetrain noise but then again I'm a gen 2. Get on the stick and stop whining about this.

Wow that was informative and helpfull... Thanks.

This is not a WHINING thread this is a WTF is that noise it wasn't there before. We were trying to troubleshoot this since the lifters have less than 7k on them so it makes no sense for them to be tapping like this.

Not everyone just has the money lying around to go buy lifters on a hunch... he was trying every other route first that was technically free for him to test... He is currently waiting for parts to get mailed to him he will have them soon to try next.

dude if you dont like this thread...dont post. what you had to say was so irrelevant, while you built that 2.8L i sold 7 LSX blocks...la de dah

2.8 doesn't have enough balls to make a lifter tick anyway so who cares.

dude seriously if you dont like it you know where to go.

what you do in a weekend i could care less about.

and its called waiting for the guy on the other end to actually look through his mail and ship the shit.

if you dont like the situation then hey you can buy me whatever this thing needs.

[geldartb]

wow yeah buy em from ebay this guy is an absolute moron im STILL waiting for them to arrive. first it was the asshat didn't check the mail he received for 2 weeks and now he supposedly shipped them last Saturday.
should have just spent the 200 and i could have had the car together a month ago.

this whole situation is really pissing me off.

Well this is one reason why I NEVER use money orders... now you really have no proof you paid... I currently have a dispute open with paypal over a diff assy that I never received... His one and only response to the dispute which was escalated to a claim, was a tracking number which comes back as a invalid number... I can see 80.88 hitting my bank account in the near future.

[gectek]

yah its not called freebay...i lost over 2 Gs trying to get a laptop

[Superdave]

FYI.. we had a ton of similar valvetrain noise on a cammed 3400 on Monday.. turned out to be a broken spring.

make sure to check yours

[geldartb]

ill check the springs when i get down there this week dave. gotta do the drive shaft on the Subaru so ill be down there anyway.

im calling the number on his page this week, after working all day in the heat in a factory i really dont feel like dealing with dickheads on the phone so it will prob wait till friday and at the moment i don't have any credit cards to do paypal and im not linking a bank account to paypal, so yeah thats the only option i got to pay with right now.

im picking up a better valve spring compressor the one i bought and returned to sears sucked donkey balls and fell apart when i was putting the springs on the heads.

if you look at his feedback it looks like most of the deals went through without a hitch and hopefully he's just a moron who needs to pay a little more attention to what he's doing.

it seems like its a speed shop so you would think he wouldnt be in the market of fucking people over.

and as for buying a laptop on ebay yeah i dont think id do that one ive looked before and for what people are selling shitty old ones for you can go to something like newegg and get a brand new one for about the same price if not much more and at least with them your getting something that hasnt been mollested and will work.

[1988GTU]

If that is the pro shop that I am thinking of, they are slow for getting anything done. Not that far from my brothers old house.
