Anyone have any proof that valvetrain clicking loudness is associated with any problems? I thought not. Sometimes we focus on the sounds our engines make a bit too much. Enjoy

Boy, you don't give people a lot of time to answer, do you.

My experience was I had some valvetrain click in my engine and my dog died the very next day!
