Got a vz SS 5.7 making a ticking noise looks like a lifter is getting stuck and comes and goes. It's done 220k and It looks like it going to be my first time taking the heads off an engine besides a dirt bike lol. If i replace the cam can i go a bit off stock without getting a tune done, i herd the ecu can learn to some degree. Im thinking new push rods, lifters and trays, rocker upgrade for safety and if the cams being dinged up its gotta be done so might as well do cam pump and timing chain in that case. I will take the valve covers off tomorrow for a look at rod and rockers first but from what i understand and have herd its the lifters or lifter failing. Any advise would be great i've being youtubing and reading as much as i can.
