Loud Valvetrain
When under power at low RPM's my valvetrain is very loud. I can hear it way over my exhaust and intake. It is only when I am under a lot of load on the engine like going up a big hill and mostly below 1500 RPM's. I know the VG33 is a pretty rough engine, but this seems a little too rough. Anyone else have this problem, or any thoughts?

i can hear my valvetrain while at idle and on low rpm's as well but not under load, it may be noisy but i don't think you have anything to worry about plus vg engines are bullet proof.

Thanks guys, it is really annoying, but I'm glad it's not hurting anything.
