valve train noise 390 cu in By Bruce Geister - 07/31/2002 3:52:09 PM; IP 64.158.97.99 I have a 1964 Galaxie with a 390 engine and it runs perfectly.....except there is noise in the valve train on the right bank and it is loud. I believe it to be a bad lifter but would like others opinions. The noise is louder when the engine is cold and less when the it is hot. The noise is the worst when the engine is at low rpm's, idle, and gets much less when rpm's increase. The push rods appear to be fine when engine is running. I have pulled the valve cover and with engine at idle all appears normal. Except for the noise. I think lifter. If it is lifter noise should I replace all at same time or just the bad one? Or is it a bad cam? I would like all opinions. Thanks Bruce
