so my problem is this. not everytime i pish on the gas hard but alot of the time, i hear a tapping in the engine. it sounds like a lifter. i was just wondering if anyone has had this peoblem before???

 

Usually with a lifter... the tapping will increase / decrease with the rpm.

 

What mods have you done to the car???

 

i noticed a noise on my car almost a month ago , when i give it gas at around 1,000-1,500 RPMs i hear a noise but above that i dont hear it. might be my exhaust is abit loud....but ive taken it to 2 different performance shops in my area and they both said its normal....but to me it doesnt saound normal..it sounds like something is falling apart in there. the noise is not extremely loud , you sometimes gotta listen for it. i told one of the guys if it was possibly a lifter or rocker and he said "it would make a much louder noise" so i dont know what to think now does any one have clips of both a rocker and a lifter noise?? when they go bad ofcourse..and are there any other signs besides a noise when they go bad??

my mods are lt headers, lid, ory........

 

i dont have any mods. completly stock car. and the noise is pretty loud. there is no difference in performance. it just sounds terrible.

 

LS1 Piston Slap noise? I think mine does it too...

 

sounds like someone shakin up a can of sparay paint really fast.

 

mines not that bad... barely audiable...

 

thats what is bothering me. i cant figure it out.

 

the spraycan rattle sounds like what happened in my 96... ended up being a collapsed lifter... rattled like a shaken spraycan and got faster/slower as the car reved up/down... now the lt1 has ls6 lifters...

 

would there be any be a ses light ??would the car run bad?? or just the noise it self??

 

The car ran really bad, huge loss in power, alone with the loud noise. As far as the ses light i had a few other issues at the time so i don't know if that by itself would cause the ses light to come on...
