i had my sy motor rebuilt around 10k ago with forged pistons and rods, now i have a tap, it started tapping when i had some knock at hi rpm, once i heard the knocking i let off and it now sounds like a valve tap, i pulled the valve covers and ran the motor, didnt look like i was getting much oil to the heads on either side,so i replaced to oil pump with a melling hv, put it all back together and i have more oil but still not enough, i adjusted the rocker arms and still theres a tap, i put a stethoscope on the rocker studs and found a strange noise coming from the drivers side closest to firewall, almost like a scraping sound, any ideas>? im hoping its a collapsed lifter but ive heard it could be much worse like a bad cam bearing or maybe i wiped a rod bearing
the turbo bearings went after i had the rebuild so i rebuilt the turbo but never cleaned the pan, i found some shavings that are the same color as the turbo bearings, im hoping thats all they are but im not sure.
has anyone else had a problem like this? thanks for any info in adnvance
