Roller Rocker Noise after install - Drivers Side Only

[section525]

I just installed an e-cam, FMS 1.6 Roller Rockers (ped mount), and valve springs, on my 5.0.

After starting the motor there is a very noticable tapping on the drivers side valve cover. You can actually feel the vibrating when you put your finger on the cover. The passenger side sounds/feels fine. I pulled the valve covers off and verified that the rockers were not hitting the covers. So what else could it be?

All the rockers were torqued to 17lbs. I used the stock lifters and pushrods, and the motor only has about 9k miles on it.

Tomorrow I plan to re-torque everything and check the pushrods. Any ideas??

When ever you put in a new cam you should replace the lifters, that may be the tapping. Using old lifters can wear you cam out rather quickly. You can be a cheap set out of Summit for around 50. Also, since you've torn the top half of you engine off, does the engine have a regular lifters or rollor lifters ?

Could be a bent pushrod.Did you have to use shims?
