Do you think this could be the problem...
Swapped the gear out fired the car up the noise still there.

I just ordered a OEM GM melonized distributor gear.
When I built the motor others said the composite gear was the way to go now I reading GM saying for a LT4-Hotcam go with the melonized gear set.

I pulled the cap NO hitting at all the rotor seen better days I change that
I also pulled the distributor out and checked the end play it's at .017.
The Composite distributor gear is showing wear about half the teeth are worn though already with 7000 miles on it sounds funny to me also the lower...
It helped out a lot it made a very loud knock before with the old PR during cold start up and was not as bad when warm but now it sound almost normal now.
Did a cold start up this morning much much bettter there still a little noise but unles you were purpose listening for it you never notice it.
I going to order a new FPR diaphragm and see if this will completely get rid of all fuel rail noise.
When I got home from work today my new pulse dampener was at the door
It took about 30 minutes to install it fired the car back up Idove it to work today it seems much better.
I find out more after the car sits and I can start it cold thats when it made the noise the worse.
But so far so good.
I was chasing a knocking sound in my Vett for a while now it’sbeen tracked down to the Fuel Pump Regulator.
It holds 43 PSI of pressure at Idle But as soon as you turnthe engine off it drops to Zero.
It has almost NEW FIC Bosch III 24# injectors and same forthe Fuel pump a Walberg 190...
I had one like that with my F250 4X4 it end up beening a spark plug The way I founfd this when it blew out HaHa lucky it was still under warranty.:chuckle
I pull the fuel regalator apart I made it adjusable long time ago I removed the adjustment screw and washer that I think was making the noise welded up the bolt hole for the adjuster put it back together much bettter theres some noise still but much better than before.
I looked in to removing the tube they say this not my noise issues so I have not removed it.
Beside the way I have it hooked up I just have to unscrew it and put a couple pugs on it if neede just screw the tube back on when needed.
