Hi – I have a 65 273 with mechanical lifters. The engine runs smooth, had a rebuild a few years back and standing outside the car it is relatively quiet but in the driver’s seat it is quite noisy even standing still. The lifters are adjusted properly, there are no exhaust or exhaust manifold leaks and there is new OEM-type insulation on the inside of the firewall. There are no unique sounds like a bad lifter or a bad bearing but just a cacophony of sound that doesn’t seem right. My previous car had a 273 with hydraulic lifters and it was much quieter. I haven’t had a mechanical lifter engine in many years so maybe this is normal. Is it? Any suggestions?
