445 stroker motor sounds like a sewing machine at idle and louder with more RPM. Is this normal? Is it noise from the bar joining the lifter pairs (Roller/ Hydraulic)?
As good as Brent is, even he can't definitively diagnose a noise without hearing it. Could you take a nice high-def video with really good audio of it and post it on YouTube? The more, the better. And different angles for the sound help too. Meaning, have the microphone under the hood, then back away a bit, not too close to the exhaust pipes, etc.
