Mine has LT headers and is noticeably ticky especially when driving past something with the windows down. I know some of it is the normal header sound, but with a stethoscope on the valve cover, sounds like some ticking going on under the valve covers also.

I popped both valve covers off, everthing looks perfect with the rockers and springs. I was thinking of popping the heads off this winter and changing the lifters. Is there an aftermarket brand anyone is finding more quiet than the OE lifters, or should I just stick some new OE lifters in the cylinders that sound the loudest to the stethoscope?

What oil are you using?

And How many Quarts on an Oil change are you putting in?
