Not sure,

It could be that the belt is too tight putting strain on the bearrings.
.

Did you tighten the bolts to spec and in the right order?

Did you check to see if the crank and cam gear were alligned?

Did you readjust your valve clearance after you installed the cam since the cam specs were changed?

Water pumps make noises too...

here's a wild guess:

check that the two pedestal bolts on the head above where the distributor shaft goes in. maybe he forgot to torque them down.

Which Delta cam did you go with? 260? 272? The vavle clearance will be different. The stock specs are something like, .010 on the intake and .012 on the exhaust. When I put my 260 on, I noticed a weird tapping sound as if I was low on oil. I called up Delta, and the new ajustments were, .008 intake and .010 exhaust.

yes with regrind the base circle is smaller valves should be adjusted accordingly.

I think the wine is the belt. run it. I run mine tight no problems.
