LT1 with a stubborn lifter tick
My car just turned 70k miles, and has a stubborn lifter tick on the driver side bank. I changed the oil and added Marvel Mystery oil, nothing. Changed the oil and tried Valve Medic, and nothing.
I also had my mechanic reset all the valves on that side and nothing was loose or out of the ordinary. Its not an exhaust leak because i can pin point it by a stethoscope to around the center of the cover away from both headers and injectors. It does get a little bit quieter the warmer it gets, and is obnoxious when cold. No DTCs are being set so i assume its not knock, plus it runs like a champ minus the transmission. lol
How the heck can i get rid of this tick!

Honestly could not think of a better time for a cam swap, consider it a freebee on labor, either buy a haynes book and dive in or pay your mechanic either way it will be worth it.

Now the thing is, I have a local dyno day coming up the 17th then Im planning on going to the drag strip the 22nd. I don't know if I want to deal with trying to get the pushrods measured and ordered and everything put back together before that if I put the LS7's in. The reason (a stupid one) I didnt put the LS7's in is because I got impatient and didn't want to mess with checking the length when I did the cam. I really wish I would have just done it right.
Another problem is the PR checker I had would not work because of the guideplates. Is there a checker that will work with guideplates installed?
I know there are a lot of people that just throw the LS7's in and get stock length, but so many people say to check anyways.
Sorry for the
