UPDATE: Ticking noice from supercharged / cammed LS3.
Hey guys I figured I would let you know what I found. Some of you have seen my first thread about a "ticking" sound I have in my engine. If you haven't here is the link to the first thread.
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=232918 Well here is what I found when I pulled the valve cover off. The passenger side is dead quiet but all of the drivers side rocker arms move from left to right. I did the JRE cam install and trunion upgrade so i'm not sure if this is infact normal because of the trunion set up using clips to keep the bearings locked in and it allows for a little play but the passenger side is dead quiet so i'm not sure. Heres the video I took, like I said all of them on the drivers side make this noise and have play but the passenger side is quiet. You can imagine what this sounds like at 6500 rpm lol. Opinions? The car drives fine, makes great power but this is just annoying the hell out of me! Heres the video. :w00t: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMAvEgeqaxU&feature=plcp |
Noise* I messed up the thread title lol.

Mine sounds like that. I will get you a video tomorrow and you can compare my engine noise and yours.

I can live with the noise I'm just curious if this is in fact normal due to the design of the trunion set up. Everything is tight, the valve springs look perfect and pushrods look straight so I know there isnt an issue there.
The sound of these rocking back and fourth is what I'm hearing with out a doubt as I had my buddy rock them and you can hear it clear as day under the car by the headers like I said in my first post. |

Same here, The car pulls like a SOB up top, idles fine, drives great, logs look really good as well I'm just curious if this is normal. I mean it is aftermarket performance stuff so I think it is normal givin the circumstances. But still doesnt explain why the passenger side is dead quiet.

I never asked ted either, I talked to one of the techs I wanna say it was nick? When I first noticed it and he said they never really had any issues like I was describing. I'm going to PM the post to ted and hopefully he will chime in here and spread some knowledge.
