Apart from the lifters on camera which actually sound ok and are getting less vocal with use .

I'm on fucking egg shells with this build .. just want it right ..someone's just said on FB it doesn't sound right .

 

for me matt ,phones always make engines sound a little shit .

 

Yea that's true mate ..I really does sound.worse on camera phone.. I'm told the lifters have to be run in also and then adjusted.

 

ive yet to here a engine sound good on a phone matt.seems to pick up high frequencies more and they all sound tappety as fook lol

 

Yea true mate .just me being paranoid now it's this close ::

 

CVH was never the most refined engine when new!

As long as you have good oil pressure I shouldn't be too worried, but thats easy for me to say.

Agree with james, phone cameras always make engines sound tappety.

 

Yea totally agree ..yea oil pressure is good so just the old camera phone I think .

 

Looking awesome mate. I agree on my phone my cossie sounds tappy but in reality it doesn't

 

Looks really good. So clean.

I wouldn’t worry about Facebook critics. Assume all is fine and get the mechanic to check it all once run in.

now is time to enjoy it.

 

Thanks mate ..yea true this is same .

Thanks Toby ..yea agree I just want it right now and too enjoy it.

 

They can sound weird on camera phones. When I was putting mine back together the other year it sounded weird, my idle valve buzzes a little bit but the phone really seems to pick up on that.

 

Why do ford owners always have there heater on full😂.
Phone sound always sound terrible I can’t say for the lifters or cam as it does sound a bit loud as phones always are but sounded clean on the rev for bearing noise.
Great looking car.

Thanks mate, you are right they are worse on camera and thanks that's gave me a little more confidence.

 

These newman cam/lifters Mat? If so, do a check on the clearance in a few k. I've always found a fresh set tend to open up (or close) pretty quickly so need a check up after a bit of run in. After that I just treat it as part of a yearly check now (always need a tweak but always minor).
Can only echo what everyone else has said tho - phones make CVH's sound even worse, pretty sure i could film myself twatting a spanner against a metal panel and it'd be quieter

 

Yea mate it's all new ph4 cam Newman solid lifters 200lb springs and roller rockers...I'll give them a check before mapping ..thanks for the info mate.

 

Mat it will defo be your camera phone. I filmed my engine a few months back and it sounded tappety as fook on the vid.

 

mate its your phone, when i was at yours the other week apart from the lifters it was fecking purring mate, proper engine

you know your mistake, you listened to facebook haha

 

Best line on here LOL!

As above and everyone else, always sounds worse on phone recordings

 

Mat it does sound a little strange apart from the lifters it almost sounds down a cylinder even when you rev it, hope its just the camera.
