Ok. Is it possible to ask rebuilder what he sets engines valves (yours) at? How long ago rebuilt ?

I ask about the time gear, because if it is alum/bronze (metal)....some guys say that they get a 'noise'. My one B is alum...no noise, other B is bronze gear...no noise ? Ask your builder, as if it is a recent build, maybe he used metal and maybe it is doing the 'ticking' ? For instance, if fiber gear, that will narrow ticking down to lifters ?
