Ok, I hope everyone is sitting down for this.
Ive been having a HORRIBLE ticking noise coming from the driver's side engine annnnd my friend CJ and I were looking into what it might be (Hes pretty much a genius with LS1s). We checked the whole valve train and everything was fine.
Bad news is, is that the sound is coming from the bottom of the engine![Sad](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_sad.gif)
It sounds as though its either the back of the oil pan or bellhousing area.
We ran a compression test on the drivers side and here are the resultss.
Cylinder 1: 195 PSI
Cylinder 3: 200 PSI
Cylinder 5: 200 PSI
Cylinder 7: 190 PSI
Im not sure if its necessarily bad that numero 7 is that low.
Anyone have any ideas as to what may be ticking. It doesnt do it until after I get on it and we're 100 percent sure that its not a lifter or anything in the valve train for that matter.
I guess the first thing I should do is check my oil really good and see if I can see any traces of metallic dust or anything. If not, then I dunno where to start... Engine? Transmission? GAH!!!!!!w

its 99% impossible to diagnose ticking sounds on the internet.. even with a video. even in person its hard to diagnose what it is correctly. id look at your exhaust, make sure there are no leaks.. if your oil pressure is fine i wouldnt worry about it JMHO
