well I dont know, but thats how my -built- engine sounded from day one, on mine it sounds like the noise from that heavy duty valve-train with Jesel rockers and big *** valve springs.

Nah.. dat's one of dem Salmon cats.. They been know to swim up the pipe to the exhaust's "spawning grounds".


...meanwhile while we rejoin the show... I wouldn't automatically do a rebuild without some diagnostics as mentioned before in the thread. It might not need rebuilding.

dude you have an LSX making less than 580RWHP and i bet you barely drove that thing, I dont think its time to rebuild at all!!

maybe something went wrong withthe cam install.

maybe its a cracked valve spring i dont know, but check it out
and fix it now, dont try another 190mph like this.

I'd suggest you take it our for ANOTHER 190 mph run and see if the noise is still there ......... or if you left somewhere on the road.
