I don’t know about pushrods changing, but this noise is the pistons hitting the heads. I just thought it was interesting how the engine runs fine when it warms a little vs cold (like on your engine stand). Referencing the rally engine experience above.

He said on rally engine it doesn't hit so not sure what you mean there? , and i am with Sam, I wouldn't run it if it hit ever, just build it right.

I’ll get around to fixing the noise but it can wait. That engine was built like that in 2013 and has thousands of miles on it being used every year as a daily. The bottom end wasn’t touched at the time of the tight deck heads. Bottom end was done with a Berg cw 69 crank back in 1998. Bearings are original from 1998 and seem fine even today with little racket thru the shifter and makes plenty of power still.

Martin is that one of those anti pre-ignition slots that you've put into the head? [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Yes, it adds turbulence along with the tight deck.

I have found this thread really interesting. My new motor will need valve notches.
Please can you post some pics of what you do with the sharpened valve Richie sent you
Thanks, Lee

It says on the first page what to do with it. It’s put in the valve guide to mark the center of the piston. You can then use this to mark where the notches will be on the piston.

Thanks Dave, I do get that bit ![Grin](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/grin.gif) It's how the angle of the guide in relation to the piston that translates to the relief cut that interests me.
