Help what is this ticking noise

[TxStVanWilder]

Oh ya, you asked if we should go ahead and retune, sd tune, let's skip the retune if you don't have it fixed. That's a little louder than I imagined when you mentioned the issue with your truck.
It's not a good idea to run the truck hard, under boost with that noise going on.

i learned that with mine..... then i had to buy a new cam and lifters

Last time i heard that noise it cost me 2000.00!!!!!!! pull the valve cover!

well everything looks good with all the rockers, pushrods and springs. Unless its one of the inner springs broke, its not on the top side of the heads. I swapped the rockers and pushrods from the driver's side to the passenger's side. So the heads are coming off as soon as i get the LS7 lifters in. They should be here hopefully tomorrow or monday.

well at least you got that knocked out

[GasGuzzler]

So is the noise still there then?

As a last ditch effort put a pint of auto trans fluid in the oil and go for a 1 hour ride around town. If you have a hunk of dirt or crud in the lifter it's your best chance of cleaning it out. Otherwise the head has to come off and you can disassemble the lifter on the bench, inspect and if it's obviously a hunk of dirt, reassemble and reuse
