I used the stock rods lifters ect ect I went with the 585 just because it was able to work with some stock parts. I die grinded the spots that looked like the rockers might have been touching. And it seems to only be on the front jug exhaust rear is silent

Does pinging cause valve noise? I'm wondering if maybe my spark advance is too high with the canned map I used as a base? But I would think a canned map would cause the rear jug to make the same noise. And it doesn't, it only makes it's under acceleration and idle.... No noise on deaccel
