I have a tickin noise come from my driver side head....Does anyone have a clue what this could be??....

 

-exhaust leak
-bad lifter
-bad rocker arm
-incorrect valve adjustment
-noisy injector

 

Thanks....can anyone give me a link to some new oe lifters....i think im jus goin get the hot cam kit....but it dosnt come with lifters....and will the hot cam kit be alright on a 140,xxx mile lt1....olny mods bein n cai and a dump????

 

Why don't you diagnose the problem before you just throw parts at it? What if it's an exhaust leak? Then, you'll have new lifters, a hotcam kit and a ticking sound.

 

forgot one....

-plug wire arcing.

 

Yea i guess that would be tha smart thing to do....

 

Get a mechanics stethoscope and listen to the valve cover. Try zeroing in on the problem. Post back what you find.

 

After trying to localize the problem by listening/feeling, pull the valve cover and take a good look/feel around. Shouldn't be too hard to find what is wrong.
