01's ticking? http://s99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...torvids006.flv
Here is a vid of my friend's 01 SS. I have an 01 WS6 and I have researched it a lot and on most 01's this sound is pretty prevalent. The other years dont have it? Why? Is it b/c the new lifter design in 01 or do our cars have a problem or what?
(LIGHT RAPID tapping on decel from a rev, taps from like 1800-1200 on decel).
I have put 5K miles on my car and she pulls/runs fine, jsut curious if its the new lifter or what that does it in 01s?

Mine ticks like that too...I changed pushrods thinking that was the problem, not the case. I had someone tell me that it sounded like fuel injector ticks, but im really not sure now.

Mine sounds like a 350hp sewing machine on decel or very light acceleration in the same approximate rpm range. I would be willing to bet mine is pushrod related since its stock and has BANGED a 6500 rpm rev limit several times.
i have an 02 and it ticks, when i crank it up from a cold start, and then with a little rev it does it on decel, but if i rev it alot or after the motor warms up it goes away, someone told me it was the timing chain, it makes noise until it gets lube properly or something, i don't know if they were right, just tryin to help out

I jsut wanna see if others have it. If enough ppl do and have high miles on their car with it not causing an issue and having been there its whole life, ect. then I will consider it normal, you know?
