lt1 ticking passanger side .please help its probably not my clutch slipping My previous post was about my clutch and new flywheel. U guys suggested it could be my plugs or wires along with cap and rotor. I forgot to mention my car makes a ticking noise its from the passenger side Idk if its my heads, push rods, lifters etc. Could this be the reason my car feels like it is slipping or feels like it is. Idk how to explain it well. It just feels like its slipping for a sec and then grabs. like that kinda motion that's as best as I could describe it. Check out the video please and let Me know possible factors. Thank you

I have the same noise that just developed in my '95 Trans Am. Does any body have any ideas? I pulled the valve covers off and the pushrods are good except for 3 that some wobble tpo them.

those were my next 2 things to check. Realized I should have checked my headers before tearing into the valvetrain... the only thing is though, the ticking is loudest at idle. As I rev it up (only went to about 3500) it quiets down but still doesn't sound good. A header leak would get louder wouldn't it? That's why I didn't think to check the headers first.

Dost up your results once it's done and whether or not that cleared it up. I've got 2 that are definitely bent on the drivers side and one that is a slightly bent on the passenger side so I'll definitely be replacing the pushrods.

But like others have said pull the valve cover and check for obvious things like loose parts, broken parts, etc...
