295 pre-mci upper engine noise
New member, hello all. Tech by trade with 97 txt. Rebuilt the 295 a year ago with everything nee but crank and rods, runs great. My issue is these little engines seem to be noisy. Mine has top end rattle. Correct oil, tried valve lash at .004, .005 and .006 with no difference. Recently took rocker shaft and rockers out and cranked engine and it was very quiet. Is it common for these engines to be loud or maybe I have some excessive wear on valve train, didn't notice anything abnormal during the rebuild. Buddy has a newer 295 mci engine and much quieter. I would appreciate any feedback. We use this cart at the lake hauling family and friends, not fast but strong as an ox. I have been all through this cart just would love to quiet it down a bit. Thanks in advance.
