The chattering seems to be getting louder in my Clipper. I took it to a local hot rod shop (these guys are very good with engines and truly like Packards, so don't worry about me turning the Bumblebee into a rod) where one of the guys used a stethoscope to the valve covers and low and behold, we located the likely culprit. I hope I can resolve this problem by simply adjusting the lash, but now I am not so sure. A question: Have any of you out there used Clay Smith cams in your Packards? I am intrigued by the idea.
