Well..no 1/4 mile fun for me guys..![Sad](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_sad.gif)
Went out and put the final Tune in it and on the last little run it **** out and started ticking real loud, and having some Knock Retard on the Computer. I coasted it off the Highway and parked it, pulled the Valve Covers off of it to check the Rockers.
Everything was bolted down tight to where it should be except #5 Intake. It was tight, but it has about 1/8" freeplay from the Valve to the Rocker when you lift it. I pulled the Rocker off, pulled out the Pushrod to check it and it was good. Springs were good, nothing wrong there..everything else was good.
I think it dropped that Lifter, so next week I'm ordering new Lifters..probably LS7 Lifters, Head Gaskets, Head Bolts, and whatever else I need. Then find the time to drop the Engine out and tear the top-end off of it..
**** happens..built it, break it, build it again..atleast it happened here, not there after a big drive and all that gas money..

man i feel your pain. when i finished my 383 i got about 25 miles on it and it spun a bearing then ate up every other bearing within 1 minute of trying to determine whether it was knocking or something else. like you said **** happens. hope everything goes back together easy for you.

What lifters were you using anyway? Had a lot of miles on them or something?
