I'm putting a slightly warmer cam into my '74 B as well.  I didn't care
for the valve noise of the original, and the thought of *more* doesn't
thrill me.  Does anyone know if one of those cast aluminum valve covers
quiets things down?  I know it's an expensive fix for a non-problem, but
the cat's at the vet, and he asked me to watch his curiousity.

Thanks.

'74 B - possibly needing bigger speakers.

Just for comparison purposes, my partner put this cam [piper 270] in his
'78 B engine...  There is a problem (if you consider it such) with much
more valve noise; he's adjusted them to both the suggested clearances
and to tighter clearances, but the engine still sounds like a threshing
machine...
