recently i built an engine for the rampy with powerglide. all is fine ,
but i cant seem to keep valve adjustment , whole valve train gets noisy after
a short time. i use the lucas break in additives etc , so i doubt the oil
is the issue. this is not my first corvair engine by a longshot! , in
fact 3 others running very good in the last 3 or less years. so over the
weekend we attended a corvair club event where i was discussing this with a
person who just put together a similar motor with same source of cam and
lifters. turns out he is having the same problem. today i plan on taking lifters
out and looking at them. any other guys out there run into such problems?
this is the most i have spent in time and money on a motor to use and
enjoy , but the most trouble also. it runs good , but sounds like a 62 fuelie
vette with solid lifters .
so looking for answers from people who have actually run into this , NOT
theories on valve adjustment , oil quality ,etc. as i get older , it gets
harder to deal with possible bad parts or such out there.
i may just put an old 9889 cam and its matching used lifters ( they look
real good!) into it.
