    Oh, yes you have a nice sounding F head!

    Some of them have a lot more valve noise than yours, you should be real pleased with this.

    thats good news!
    i honestly dont know what it should sound like.
    but when i started it for the 1st time .
    it made a heckuva racket.
    the valves were way off.
    the # 4 valve was at 0.63

    #2 was at 0.37 or something....

    funny thing about this one.
    it doesnt leak any fluids period.......

    Sounds like your on your way to being a certified hurricane mechanic. Idle a tad high, how noisey is it at a lower idle? It's when the noise doesn't go away around 1500 rpms that you have a problem. Take the fan belt off temporarily to eliminate fan noises.
