Re: Freshly rebuilt 350 burning oil and tappet noise.

The loud noises don't sound good. Do you have a solid flat tappet or hydraulic? Kinda sounds like a lifter could be hanging up. Does it smoke really bad when you first start it up? Do you know if the shop did anything with the valve guides? The more info on the motor the better. Thanks
