A small exhaust leak would make a taping sound, and it chnges with load and disappears under certain circumstances.

I got noise to. I had my dad listen to it and he said im obsessing over every little thing on my car, lol

If it is an exhaust leak, time to change out the exhaust gaskets, along with some new headers (I still got stock exhaust )

Re: Valvetrain noise - ever have it?

well this july im definately getting some LT's so if its an exhaust leak it should be fixed then. im pretty sure its valvetrain noise. kinda like a slapping. if it is the rockers, could i adjust them myself?

It's def. the rockers. Almost every LT1 does it. Just one of those things. I have yet to hear of anyone fixing it, so don't worry about it.
