Valve train noise!

I found this information a touch alarming, and wanted to pass it along as possible solution to those who hear a valve train noise even though the timing chain and tensioner have been recently replaced.

Thanks,, great info and just one more thing to look into when I tear down to put a timing chain and have the head reworked on the 09 SS panel I just purchased. It will take some doing but I will have it back on road soon. Hopefully with the advice of the group.
Thanks again
