Default How does my engine sound?

Hello, new here and to LS in general so sorry if I sound ignorant to the engine. I have a LS2 with 90k miles and I don't know if it's my imagination or not that I'm hearing new valvetrain noise, I've been reading and worried about lifters, rockers, pushrods, bearings, etc. Here's a startup, idle, and rev to 2k rpm, how does it sound for those experienced in LS motors? Oil pressure after warmed up sits at 37psi idle.


Thank you.

I could be wrong but that may be your fuel injectors clicking. Mine click and I can hear them at idle. In my limited experience a failing valvetrain noise sounds a little more... musical? Sharper? Less consistent? And it would likely have one distinct louder click at half engine speed.

Normal valvetrain noise.
