Sounds more like a sticky lifter :-? :-? :-?
update paul, doesnt make any noises until it fires up, no noise when its wound over. this points to the lifters to me, what do you think.?

Could be. Does it sound as bad as the green one did when running?

is it one or both sides ?

if you let it run, does the tone of the noise change as the oil warms up ?

its a heavier noise than the green one was, darent leave it running long enough to hear which side.

A pint says it's the lifters :)

I'd drop the oil for some fresh, pop a new filter on, and let it run up to temperature.

2.6 seems the most prone, in my experience, for some reason!

Bugger!  :'(

Was it a GM kit that was on it before?

Seeing a lot of failures recently, tensioner on mine got very, very noisey, only 27k old too  >:(
