I figured this was the best place to ask. i didnt get much response from the basic section. im lookin at buying an assembled shortblock. i was told it has 67K on it. but it makes a tapping noise 2000-3000 rpms. any idea as to what this could be? no power or oil pressure is lost. below is the guys ad. hes local and ive known him for a few months. seems honest. and nice. here it is. this is the exact ad. shoudl i be worried about the tapping?

A 99 stock ls1 shortblock assembled (66k miles) The block makes a tapping sound from 2000-3000 rpms, but no drop in power or oil pressure. This engine has been autoxed with about 16 times in the past two years and done about 15 seekonk speedway spectator drag laps. The block will probably be available by August or mid August.

99 stock cam
99 stock intake manifold
Other odds and ends like pulley, lifters, pushrods, egr, etc if you want them you can have them. They came off the block.

It's basically the whole ls1 minus a few parts. I'll package everything above together for $400 or best offer.
