Faint tick at 1500-1600 rpm
My car lightly ticks at 1500-1600 rpm. I've never really noticed it till now, but it seems to be on the driver side.
Is this the "GM tick" I've read about?
It has royal purple in it now, thinking about going back to pennzoil platinum to see if it fixes it.

How many miles are on the motor? From what I understand, in higher mileage LS motors sometimes the oil pump gets weak and should be replaced. Once, this is done, the "tick" goes away. Basically, the top side of the motor is just not eating enough oil at lower RPM's.
