Howdy boys and girls,

Before I potentially tear down this motor I need some knowledgeable guys to stop by and listen to it. It is a former L76 but has since had DOD delete/Cam/converter for over 25k miles and she runs great with one exception...the strange tap every 2-4 seconds.

Doesn't sound like a lifter but honestly I am stumped and just need someone to stop by. This poor car sits gathering dust (2 months now) while I am left to ponder my ignorance.

Any takers? FM 1488/2978 area.

Payment in beverage of your choice

Thanks - getting frustrated.

Not near me. Does the ticking speed up with rpm or is it constant every 2-4 secs?

Lifters are funny, one could still be going out but not stuck yet. Oil pressure good?

I'm around 1488/242..Could swing by and listen to it for you. I won't be able to until next week though.

It is not directly related to the RPMs as if it were valves. Here is a video:
Don't recall checking oil pressure. Will do so when I get home.
