I notice it when the engine is cold. Once it's warmed up the lifter noise goes away.

What lifters are you using?

I suspected that's what you were using (with the Woods cam).  The Woods directional lifters pump up a bit more slowly, expecially when cold.  What you're experiencing sounds normal.  Once pumped up, they are a quiet lifter....

Iam using stock lifters and i have not yet installed cam, buider is just telleing me that i am going to experience more valve  train noise. Iam not really wanting any excess noise from motor. I do not have $ to change lifters. thanks!

Ok I never heard that this cam caused a noisy valve train. Hey speak up Steve did the one you dyno'd have a noisy valve train?

DO NOT let someone look you in the eye, and let them tell you, that happy-horsechit.
Pull up stakes, and move to another non-thief shop, asap.
We've installed more Wood cams here, than any shop on the planet. FACT. We are Bob Wood's largest account, and if someone is telling you the 555 is noisy, RUN.

I'm glad someone is calling BS on BS.
Thanks Scott.

I just installed a set of 555s in a 2011 103 yesterday. Sock pushrods, stock lifters. Quiet as stock.
Not to mention it made 101HP and 109TQ with stock heads. Will post dyno chart today.

VERRRY nice!
What exhaust and intake? Any other changes?

 Scott...Did the lobe design get changed on the 555? Ive installed quite a few 6-6's in late twin cams. They all were noisy compared to useing a 54 or 37. I would love to try a 555 but cam noise with me is a big issue.

PS: thanks for the goodies!

Can't answer that, but the 6-6's seem very quiet here.
We set the pushrods .140-.150" into the lifter.
FWIW, FuelMoto USA, just tuned a 107"/555/our Stage II Heads, with OE t/body, and Rhinehart duals, to 109 hp, and 126 ft/lbs.
58mm FBW would pull more hp, as would/does our Stage III(1.940" intake)heads.

Being Bob Woods' largest account doesn't exactly make your opinions unbiased now, does it?  I bought a set of 6-6's from you a couple years ago based on your BS about it being quiet, and it turned out to be the BS I should have run from.  I bought the whole setup from you, and followed the directions in the manual.  I called you for help once and you told me "it ain't rocket science, you can figure it out".  Thanks for the after-sale support.  I eventually did figure it out, and those things were so loud that after about 6 months I couldn't stand it anymore.  Out they came.  They had more power than the Andrews I replaced them with, but I didn't miss the couple of HP I lost, because after a 5 hour ride I didn't hear that damn tapping anymore.

Sorry for the rant.  Back to your regularly scheduled program.
