Is This Noise Normal?
Okay so I know evos have loud valvetrain but I’m more concerned with this rattling that I hear when revving the engine... It seems too loud and “clanky” to be lifter tick... It’s always done this to some degree but lately I feel like it has gotten louder.
Car has Greddy 264 cams. Idle at 1000. Oil level is perfect, running Amsoil Full Synth. 10W-30. This is on a hot motor.
Car performance is unaffected but I’m just worried this is a warning sign that something is up?
Also, today is pretty hot (first really hot weather the car has seen in awhile) and the car is popping/burbling on decel after downshifts. It never usually pops??
anyways, any advice or help would be much appreciated. Thank you

The 10w30 is too thin.
Try thicker oil

Wrong. Nothing wrong with 10w30. It's what he engine built for in regards to factory bearing clearances.
