You make an interesting point about the difference in engine sound. When you began this thread I believe you said you had problems with the Dove rockerarms. Given this I would assume that you also had their end stands. If that is true I have noticed that on every valve cover that I have used with the Dove end stands that those end stands make contact with the valve covers. This creates a situation where the valves covers pick up the valve train noises thus reverberating those noises. This is usually quite noticable. When switching to another rockerarm system this noise goes away and it makes the engine appear to run better due to the quieter valve train. I am not saying that the Dove's are bad because of this just that the contact point can create this noise issue. Looking on the bright side hearing the valve train making the right kind of sounds is good and you can pick up bad sounds quickly with the Dove system.
