My father and I replaced the engine in my '04 about a month ago. Bought a long block, and did the replacement from there. We normally take our blocks to our guy but to save time and some money we went the long block route.
The lifters are nice and quiet (a little chatter as per usual upon startup, but much less than before), but as it warms up to operating temp, the valves chatter. I don't know if this is something that should clear up on it's own once we get more miles on, or not. There's about 150 or so on the rebuild. Currently running Mobil 1 10W30 (i know it calls for 5W30) with a K&N filter.
Any ideas on that, and/or any similar experience. Or did I just become the owner of a noisy 3.3?
Thanks for looking
