sound from engine

itschristorres8 · February 20th, 2008, 08:48 PM

its not a lose valve
a lose valve would be rattling like hell in the cylinder

it clicks at idle a little from the sound
its really hard to determine with the quick revs

didnt work
here is another persons suggestion:
exhaust leak and a little ticking noise in the background from the valve train .

and

Sounds like something rubbing a rocker arm (bent push rod?) and yeah I agree maybe an exh leak too

also if you have a tuner might be spark knock it will sound like an exhaust leak

so it might be in the top end???? like a lifter or rocker arm....or could it be a connecting rod pin???

sounds like the valve terrain for sure now
first take off the valve cover look for Obvious damage or something that may be wrong

sounds more like a stuck lifter

chevy_killer · February 23rd, 2008, 11:41 AM

i just got finished taking off my valve covers and i found out what the problem is....its a collapsed\stuck lifter....i checked the rockers and they were tight and the pushrods are not spinning and they look like their not bent....so the only other thing is the lifters....
