Please send me a video clip of your motor with the road's lifters, so I can determine whether or not I can stand the different noise they incur!

I'm not sure a video clip will give the responce you need. All I can say is that in the car you can't notice. And my mufflers probably drown out the noise any way. With the hood 's open it just sounds like an engine with solid lifters.

Agree, people need to get over this noise thing they have. More than a few here have expressed concern running Rhoads for fear of the ticking noises they make. I never quite understood that coming from old school hard core car guys (how I grew up) Lifters ticking just meant you had a hot engine under the hood (and I don't mean temperature)

Quite frankly, with the hood shut and driving you really can't even hear the loudest of the solid lifter camshafts, and todays profiles with their tight lash lobes are so quiet it's like it's not even there.

The new Rhoads lifters are much the same, they can be lashed fairly snug to a point they don't really make noise you can hear when using the car and going about your business.

Add me to the list of misunderstood old school car guys. Ticking to me always meant that something was misadjusted or broken. I appreciate what Rhoads lifters do. No thanks for me. I'll make adjustments, or sacrifices, elsewhere to have a quiet engine. My $.02

Amen to that, I still would like to hear the sound for experience, who knows maybe I can handle the noise, but I doubt it!

Thank you for that input, I will keep that in mind, it sounds more bearable now. What is your input on possible reverb noise that I experienced twice?
