440 build noise Help!! - 07/19/08 12:48 PM
Built a mild cam 440 engine for the 64 dodge. It feels like it wants to run fine but I get a horrible rattling sound whenever I give the engine more gas like if i'm going down the road and If I give it more gas to speed up, it sounds like someone is shaking a set of sleigh bells. It just sounds awful. When I let off the gas it goes away. It has 40 to 45 psi oil pressure all the time so I don't think its the bottom end. Checked the compression and all cylinders are between 165 and 185 psi. The timing is set at 12 btdc. Someone said they can hear the noise even while its idleing. Any ideas what to look for next? I don't think its in the botton end.
Thanks all, Alex
