hey mate i have the same issue did you find a fix

aye mate, took it in to the shop and theyve determined that it was rocker chatter, soomthing about the l98 having **** bushes and swapping them out for a solid trunion. havnt got it back yet as the courier has gone awol so i am unable to take a viedo of the difference. im confident in there diagnostics thoe as it could sound like a sewing machine

kpm quoted me 750 supplied and fitted, i believe the same kits are around 380 from vcm, i imaginenitd be as simple as remove rocker covers and investigate and to replace would just be the know how and a touque wrench. i assume. yeah i feel the cam noise is a hard one to cancel out especially when your not used to it. i should be getting my car ute back tomorrow ill post a video and see if the noise is gone

Ok, curious to hear the new video. I’ve just come back to a ve after a few years and I’m hearing all the usual noises, injector pulses, typical noisy ticks and so on. But one member mentioned a chirp sound. Would that chirp be like a similar sound to a noisy pulley on the belts like the pulley sound from the ecotecs? I have a chirp which has a pattern to it. Hmmm curious
