6.2/427 Sounds like a Diesel.
Hey everyone, I've got a 6.2/427 in an 07 NB Silverado. Shortblock came from Scoggin Dickey and it's got a ZR1 cam, Chain Tensioner, Port and polish CNC'ed OEM L76 Heads, 7.49 Hardened Pushrods, Patriot 8501's with Matching components, Scat 1.7 Rockers, Standard Valves, etc. etc. Why does it sound like an 04 Duramax? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
-Robbie.

That was my thoughts too! I'm gonna check the pushrod length here in a little bit. Got some goodies here. I've checked every other thing you can think of though. No dice. Also I will get a Sound Clip here in a bit. It sounds like hammered dog sh**. Lol.

I'd verify head gasket part # as well. We had a car with a 4.100 bore 422 come in here with a noise like that and found out another shop had installed stock VR LS1 4.00" bore gasket... MAJOR bearing damage...

Damn... Well thanks John. 7.220's were too short guys, but that is the problem. the standard 7.4 pushrods on a ZR1 cam for this 6.2 are too long. I decided to start it up and let it idle on 4 cylinders and loosen up the rockers on the side that I had the valve cover off of, and the noise almost disappeared. Going to drop 7.300's in tomorrow and hope for the best. Thanks for all of your suggestions and support. I am beginning a new thread on my G8 that I recently started having problems with after a lifter conversion. So if you guys would like to help, I could really use it. Thanks again.

Have Yells Terra's in it now with properly set valve lash. Noise is pretty much gone once its warm, but when its cold it still sounds like the rods are falling out of it.
