hey ive been looking to buy an ls1 camaro for some time now and i found a m6 z28 with 62000 miles on it for 11 grand but there is a weird engine noise that i think might be a knock or maybe a sticky rocker arm. The motor felt like its lost alot of power when i got on it. but i was just wondering what i would have to do or how much it would cost to fix that problem and to get the motor running strong, i was thinking that sea foam would be a good bet

man be patient and dont buy that one
you dont wanna start out with problems especially for that price
that sounds like 99 percent of the ones I looked at before I found mine
I got it for 11k with tax tag and title with46k in perfect condition bone stock one owner
it sucks waiting but whe you find the right one you wont ask anyone cause you'll know its perfect for you
good luck

Could be a problem but, like he said most ls1's make some noise. If its really loud forget it and keep looking. There is alot of good cars out there.

alright thanks guys by the sound of it its not piston slap, the guy doesint really know much about cars so im going to tell him it might be a bad rod bearing and the motor needs to be taken out so ill see if i can get the price down to at least 10. But im pretty sure its a sticky lifter or rocker arm

you're only gonna try to get it down a grand and you'll have to work on it and really dont know whats wrong with it?
take it to a mechanic before you talk price

normally you can talk people down $1k or so anyway unless they're really set on the price.
