Are roller rockers loud?

I've never had roller rockers on any of my cars, do they make allot of noise at high RPM's? It almost sounds like an exhaust leak or a stuck lifter but maybe it's my roller rockers, I'm not quite sure where it's coming from. I can only hear it at a certain RPM while driving my car. There's no hood on my car yet so I'm probably hearing more engine noise than I should.

I'm running Crane roller rockers with hydraulic lifters and I never sensed any difference in noise from the stock stamped rockers.

get a 3ft length of rubber hose and use it as a stethascope while someone else runs the motor, that will help you narrow it down........

as long as it makes the noise when not in gear :rofl: :rofl:

if adjusted properly you wont have much noise, just a slight tick hear and there. if they are clackity clackity clack then they are probably not adjusted right.  the stock rockers are noisy enough (in my opinion) that you wont notice much difference going to roller rockers
