Clicking / Ticking Noise - Diagnostic Help!
Problem: LT5 has just recently developed a pronounced "ticking" or "clicking" sound/noise that seems (via "stethescope") to be coming from under the right-side cam cover.
Facts: '95 stock LT5 (with Haibeck chip) at 13,500 miles. Just changed oil (Mobile-1, 5-w-30) and oil level shows fine at rest. One semi-long (and semi-fast!) trip since oil change. Noticed noise at the end of that trip (may or may not be related to the oil change...) Noise exists at start-up and remains when warm. Increases proportional to RPMs. Question: From what I've read, it might be a collapsed lifter?? Other likely options and other recommended diagnostic checks?? THANKS! Bill
