I have harland sharp 1.6 ratio rockers on my w2 econo heads on my 408 and they are very noisy!!! this is the first time i've ever run harland sharps and was just wondering if everyone else's were this noisy?

All adjustable rocker arms are noisy... Dont care what kind of setup it is.. Its a good sound, a sound that I like... Mech cam lash click, click, click is like music to my ears.

Have them on SB & BB motors; no noise to speak of. You's better check to see if they clear the rest of your valvetrain & the rocker pedestals, as well as the valve covers.
On my BB with 1.6s & stock valve covers, the rockers were hitting the VC oil baffles, and the shaft retainers were contacting the VCs at the front & rear corners. A little clearancing (ball-peened the baffles, filed the retainer corners) and all is quiet.
I'm assuming your lash isn't too loose.

thats definetaly the sound they make click,click,click. its a solid cam 248/253@.50,.594/.594 lift. valve lash is .12 int., 14 exh. using morel edm lifters.

ive taken the valve covers off twice to check everything and i cant find them hitting anywhere. no witness marks on the valve covers or rockerarms themselves, plenty of clerance on the retainers also. the more rpms the motor turns the faster the click,click,click!!!

That's an extremely loose lash setting. I'd bet it's .012,not .12" .

its a custom cam from bullet cams that RyanJ spec'd for me.thats the lash the cam card specs. its cut on a 108 lobe center and installed at 104.

it was a typing error!!!! its way past my bed time and my eyes and brain aint working too good right now!!! sorry!!!

How are you doing your lash... are you doing the
valve open/close procedure or the MP way... it may
be loose but the way you are checking it it might
not show it

i do it the mopar performance way. i have the decal and follow it.

What kinda oil you use ? Dont know how clicky u are, i switched from rotella to brad penn and clicking was a lot less, my lash was same for each oil, for what its worth it made a diff for me , again, dont know how much valvetrain noise you have. And i know my lash was set perfectly , is this your first time with roller rockers?

thanks, i will look it up and give it a try.

I'm running a 588 solid roller and cold lash is .012/.014 they make a little noise. I have H/S 1.5's.

there must be sumthin wrong with all my motors cause you can definitly hear that vavetrain workin.

ok, i reset the lash using the valve open/closed method and the noise is reduced by about 50%. i had originaly set the lash with the mopar perfomance decal and i was suprised to fnd the lash very loose when i checked them before i reset them this time. i believe that yall maybe right when you say the mopar performance way doesnt work with big duration cams.
