Default What is this sound? *video included*




It's not a pulley, tensioner, or belt...checked and triple checked. It makes the sound w/no belt on it.

It's loudest on start up and after I run it hard. Over a few minutes it quiets down but is still there, just at a quieter sound level.

It sounds like it's coming from under the passenger side head/intake manifold

Pushrods are fine, and rockers are fine.

did you just recently put the stall in the tranny?? Cause not all aftermarket stalls will just bolt in. sometimes you have to put spacers between the bolt and the flywheel, cause the bolt holes on the stall isnt deep enough for the stock bolts. which makes ur stall rattle.

I thought a bad lifter would make more of a tick sound, not a squeak/chirp

No codes, haven't logged it for misfires though.
