George,

Just posted my findings and I didn't get anywhere. I changed the gears with a matched set, albeit a fiber cam gear. Changed the brass plate behind the cam gear as well. Darn noise is still there. I put everything back together but I'm thinking that I should just pull the engine and start from the begining so I know what I have.

Can't tell if it is in the valve train or a rod knock. I would figure that a rod knock would vibrate and run through the full rpm range. This sound goes away at about 1500 2500 rpm.

Tired and disapointed...... I do know more about the car though.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Bill
