Whos had intermittent non cold start lifter tick before on an ls? Ive never had something like it. Ive dropped a lifter four time in 1500ks. After an hour or so of driving sometimes it'll get a singular lifter starting to tick takes about two minutes to clear at.
Then occasionally when it's hot I get a pingingish noise on low throttle 1500-2000 but isn't ping knock sensors aren't going off 98 fuel semi conservative spark table. It's almost like every single lifter gets a tiny bit of air in it then clears out.
I'm having to pull the motor soon to do stall, mains and sump gasket. I dont want to spend more money then needed I WILL NOT be recondition this is if I have the choice. Its a daily and ls gaskets and bearings are pricey lol. But I sure as hell dont want to pull heads n do lifters after removing the motor....
Any diagnosing tips? Ive flushed the oil three times and just filled it with hpr gas haven't driven it yet though. And it doesn't happen every time you drive it so could be couple more weeks til it does it again anyway.
