I need your help guys...Engine Noise. Sounds Bad....
Just started this morning. I have had a weird noise at start up for the past month that only lasted about 1/2 second however, today it started making this noise. Im terribly nervous.

Mine sounds worse and lasts for about 1-5 mins unless I Rev the **** out of my motor for about 1 min. I think its due to the ls7 springs. The extra spring pressure causes the lifters to bleed down a lot quicker. I only use 0-30 btw. Cold weather is to blame. When its above 60* I don't hear nothing but pulleys and exhaust. Pisses me off and I'm about to tear the whole freaking engine out and swap the can and lifters. Screws dod. I'm unemployed after Jan. So I'll have time. Or... I might just unloaded this car and start saving for something cooler. Ain't nothing wrong with driving my beater for awhile!

If it doesn't stop, the lifters will be replaced. No question about that.
I didn't but a V8, to have it sound like a time bomb
EDIT: Not trying to sound pessimistic or anything, just not very happy. Sorry

I wouldn't run super thin oil like that. When it's cold like that I always try to get some heat in the motor before driving it anyway and the noise is usually gone before driving. It should be fine, all it is is a lifter not pumped up all the way. If you're still under warranty, the dealer might replace all your lifters for you...

I am not too familiar with LSx lifters or rockers but I would see if the rocker lash is out of adjustment before replacing the rockers or lifters. Then again, the labor may be the same anyways... Good Luck.

If he wants his noise to stop he needs to replace the DOD lifters, convert to non- DOD cam/lifters, or sell it.
I also don't blame him. It sounds like garbage and I'd be pissed too. Even if it only did it for a minute. I'd be ripping out the DOD garbage.
