Something knocking real loud Well this is the story...
Me and some friends were leaving a strip club..you know u have to help those fine girls threw college..but that's besides the fact...
We were leaving and and I got into my car like normal...started my ss and it just started to knock REAL loud...my oils fine.. But u did notice th@ my oil pressure was kinda low from normal...usually at regular idle its a about 40.. When it started knockin it went to like 20 30
This is what I think maybe something like a lifter..pushrod..or my oil pump is giving out..or something..but I don't know. Can you guys help me out...

The little holes in the crank shaft is what oils the bearings and a tight clearance will make higher oil pressure because it has to jet out of a small space. With a spun bearing the oil will flow to the path of least resistance and just run out insted of have resistance against the hole.
Buddy had a bad knock in his 98 SS. Pulled the valve covers and found a pushrod bent at almost a 90* angle. Check them first, doesn't take long to pull a valve cover. It will help narrow your problem down as well. - Zack

I would drain the oil and see what comes out, if its just normal wear on the magnent I would start by removing your rocker covers and checking the valve train. If there is big chunks of metal coming out you have some big problems.
