This car was LOUD...... And not in a good way. I thought the heads and or block was bad just due to the noise it was making and how erratic the knock sensor data was. Replaced the "No tick" lifters with OEM lifters and Bam, here we go. Some, some BC cams DO require shims. Not just Delta regrinds. I could almost pull the rockers straight off without compressing the valve springs. BC cams are also notorious for being off centered out of the box so degreeing them is a must. They have been better the last few years after they dropped the 276 cams for various platforms but it's a good practice to check and degree them. I'm not even going to dive into the regrind cams I'll save that for another day. This car will be rocking and rolling soon and running stronger than ever and......Quieter!!
