    valves sound a little loud and the shake is unusual - what does it sound like when you rev up the engine ?

    Look in video and tell me if sound and vibration is correct

    Yeah, your engine has valve noise.
    The vibration I see in the video is not that bad. The intake snorkle bobbing about is totally normal. I have mine zip-tyed to a hose that runs under/near it to keep my OCD at bay.
    Get your valves adjusted. That will stop the clatter and likely smooth things out a bit.
    Will weld for beer.

    Looking at the provided youtube video why do you not have a mass airflow/air temperature sensor installed(located in the filter box)

    This thread is over 3 years old so don't hold your breath expecting a response from the OP.

    Adding a nonsense reply to an existing thread. The other day while working from home, I decided I would make a quick but efficient run to Chick-Fil-A for a breakfast. There is one almost exactly 2 miles from my house. I was going to try to do 40 mpg even though the driving conditions are not great for mpg.

    I did manage to do about 42.5 mpg (even after factoring the error in the display). There and back was about 4 miles. Then I calculated how much actual fuel I used. Turns out I used about 13 ounces. That's more than a standard 12 ounce soda can!

    Then I felt guilty. There's no way that breakfast I got was worth burning more than a 12 ounce can of gas. And I thought about how everyone does that and worse, but 11 mpg pickup trucks, and big ass Hummer 2's (which I consider to be about the dumbest vehicles on the road).

    I'm going to try to do more trip combinations so I use fuel more wisely.

    Some markets use a different throttle body/intake setup and don't use a maf sensor.
