    Did you have the rocker shafts rebuilt?

    The rocker tubes were cooked out and put back together. Concerned about where which rocker arm is after putting it back together. I had someone do this for me. Waiting on video from this morning to upload.

    that actually sounds very familiar. my 359n olds made a similar noise but it was whenever the engine was running. i wanna say i had a noise like that on one of my 62 cutlass but can remember for sure, seems like i remember an intermitant chirp/squeek. you checkes the rod bearings and main bearings correct?

    We tore the engine down a 2nd time to check rods and mains. Found nothing wrong. Thrust was good. Cam looked good.

    Sound is more prevalent on driver’s side.

    Anyone have any issues with a lifter, lifter bore, or rocker arms?

    does it make the noise with a load on the engine? like putting it in drive while on the brake, maybe rev it a bit. have you driven it at all? if so is it a constant noise?

    Noise is still there even when in drive. When I rev the engine the noise is not heard but I think it just changes resonance. I have driven the vehicle it drives real nice.

    I am having another issue now. When I am cruising at 60mph the acts like I hit a headwind for a second then lets up. May be in carburetor or ignition.

    Well, it’s not in the valves. Found that out today.
