Default Solid Lifter Sound

Guys-

I have told you all that I am still learning & a newbee... so this is one of those questions. This is my first solid-lifter motor (BBC). When it is cold, they make some niose... I assume that is normal?? They are pretty noisey compared to hyd lifter motors I have had...

There are only intermitent niose @ idle. I have not ran the car much this year & only go to start it once in awhile latley while working on other things. The lash is adjusted, but the last time I did it I wonder if the motor was warm enough( it is .26/.26). Anyways, solids do make some racket at idle when cold right??? Thanks! Scooter
