VX SS LS1 unknown ticking noise

[madsav]

if all else fails mate, just goto holden ask to speak wit hthe head mechanic and ask him is that sound normal and or WTF it is lol, Another torque converter would set you back around $400 to a high performance 1 for around $1500

Yeah I may have to talk to someone at holden,

Just took it for a drive then, it's about 33 degrees outside and from stop start at the lights took off fast until just after 2nd gear and the engine light came on for about 20 seconds after that, maybe there's a fault code for what may seem to be wrong?

A Engine light is never good but at least it will show what problems the ECU has picked up , im sure off memory the LS! ecu can only be checked through holden using tech1 or tech2

Not ture i have a maxidiag us703 scan tool it can read an delete codes.

that's exhaust noise probably a cracked manifold that heats up and seals when you give it some revs

google it common it's a common problem

So it would solve the problem when i put a new full exhaust on? cause thats what i was going to do but held up the order cause this showed up. Im going to try get to a holden shop tomorrow morning to get this fault code read

Yeah they will charge you like 50 bucks just to read the code its a scam haha

Hi guys, I own a VT LS1 5.7 S2 1999, 270000k, and now I've finally got the ticking noise out of it, I got new hydronic lifter and new headers with high flow cats, well that made it worse, even Mark at Streamline Warner's Bay who I would recommend to anybody was just about out of idea's anyway knowing everything was new up the of the motor, I knew it had to be something simple and after pulling my hair out with frustration I went and got Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer and Nulon Premium Mineral 20w-50, that was 3 weeks ago and it hasn't made a noise since and running how it should. Good luck.

I don't care how premium it is, I use full synth not mineral oil - bit of ticking never killed anyone.
