So I finally got the tr6 motor started up for the first time. Runs VERY strong, very quick revving (at least to 4,000 rpm).
However, I noticed the valves seem a little noisier than expected. The cam specs called for a .012 clearance on intake valves and .014 on exhuast valves. Is this what is causing a little extra noise? Should I be alarmed?
Attached are some pics. And thanks again to everyone on the oil advice. I went with Castrol 20W50 (go the most votes) with a bottle of GM EOS. We'll see how it lasts. I can't wait to get this motor broken in. Here are the specs again:
Triple Webbers/Cannon manifold
Header
two-inch exhaust
Big valves
H/D springs
Ported and polished head
10:1 C/R
.060 overbore
lightened flywheel
To come:
Mallory dizzy
electric fuel pump
roller rockers
bigger radiator
