Fixed the ticking/squeeking coming from my valve train.
I posted up about a month ago about a squeeking coming from my valve train when I started my engine. Wasn't TOO loud, just a little louder than the normal sewing machine sound, but it would always go away when the engine warmed up. Then it started getting louder. I changed my oil and really didn't find anything in it(didn't cut my filter apart either). When I changed out my oil (RP5-30), it got a little softer but it was still there. I bought a set of low-mileage rockers from a friend locally and put 'em in and it cleared it right up. I was really hoping it wasn't a lifter! There's also much less of a sewing machine sound than when I bought the car. Hope this helps everyone! I think I will be sending my beat up set to harlan/sharp for a rebuild!

ANOTHER set of lifters?! That's a hell of a lot of work to do. Have you replaced your rockers?
BTW, I have all bolts ons, LS6 intake, Tv.2, comp 918s, 7.4 hardened PRs, on stock 2000 Z28 heads (853). Car is much happier!
