    Hi, I just bought a 77 308GTB & replaced cam belts & tensioner bearings before I drove the car 30 miles, Well its all back together now & starts & runs great but when its fully warmed up I hear alot of valve/mechanical noise. It sounds like the valves need adjustment but the previous owner had just done the valves & since it sounds great cold is this possible. Could be wrong weight oil? any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Bill

    are you sure its the valve train.... the damn heat shields on the exhaust and around the gas tanks rattle on my car when warm. i am planning on working on the rattles today. also try to rule out the alternator bearings and a/c compressor if you still have the a/c hooked up. to cheat, turn on your lights and put a load on the alternator at idle and see if your noises change.
