hey you know what...? You sound like my "Advisor" :) . But seriously..., the only thing about that first part of your response is that , the engine has been in since about a year now . I plan to go by my buddy's place on my way in to make sure it's not just a figment of my imagination playing here . But i don't think it is . I drive this car daily so I know the difference , know what i'm saying ? This guy , my Advisor , is really good . Used to be the lead performance engine builder at a spot in Houston tx. He generally gives me good sound advice at the job . Speaking of which , I gotta get going . Got home at 3 am and headed back out til at least 2 am. I do plan to check back in with you guys later today , so any and all advice I will welcome . And I will update all of you later with what i learn. Thanks again for the time (from all of you). Have a blessed day

really?!? tranny fluid ?!?! That's definately a new one.... Well , one thing is for sure ; oil level looks good . aside from what I said earlier , that is . in laymans lingo , what does a valve job entail ? Mind you , the problem that I initially described , is only after I've driven the car for a short time . Also , when i stop ( at light &/or stop sign ) I do not hear it . car doesn't have same get up and go either! is it possible that one of the spark plug wires broke down from within but not showing? they are kinda close to manifold etc....

just had entire engine re-done by very reputable establishment. like I say , sound just started yesterday morning . although , I do recall , when I did add oil , I didn't "immediately" hear the sound . it wasn't til I drove a few miles down the road that I'd hear it again . Then I decided to skip work and go have the valve cover gasket replaced.
