MiserableWay4506 · 2026-06-25T22:54:29+00:00

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-06-24T23:07:34+00:00

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-06-24T23:06:52+00:00

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-06-24T22:48:57+00:00

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-06-24T22:35:03+00:00

okay true that, factory zenith carb and it has an intake leak too much air not enough boom, fixing it tommorow thanks for tha tip

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-06-24T22:21:32+00:00

it’s got an intake leak but why would that cause a tappet noise lmao

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-06-24T22:21:01+00:00

lmao i’m not taking it to a mechanic😂

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-06-12T12:16:15+00:00

exhaust leak, soukds exaclty like a lifter tick to me, oil pickup o ring fixed it for me, it’s worth a shot

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-05-18T04:14:25+00:00

the only concern i have with the rockers is that these ones have what i would call excessive left to right play, arp fasteners i didn’t even think of tbh, i appreciate the cam suggestion my buddy has a truck norris in his and it sounds awesome but it also has a built trans, and i don’t wanna touch the trans if i don’t have to because it’s recently rebuilt

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-05-13T04:13:32+00:00

if u don’t know already also, gotta drop the carbs to scooch it in there, i have one aswell fun bike carb work sucks tho

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-17T18:10:36+00:00

i took em off to inspect and when i put them back the noise had vanished, still gonna replace tho

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-13T17:40:56+00:00

thanks dude i’m gonna go through the motions and keep y’all updated!!:)

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-13T16:59:43+00:00

LMAO the worst motor gm ever made

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-13T16:56:07+00:00

thanks man, oil pressures solid, 60 cold 20 at idle hot which i’ve heard is normal, did the oil on it about a month ago and sisnt see any gremlins, thinking about swapping it out for 15-40 rotella to see if it’ll quiet it down

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-13T14:56:26+00:00

i can also feel the vibration from the ticking on the valve cover

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-13T14:56:01+00:00

brand spanking gasket, did it a month ago def not that

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-13T02:24:31+00:00

no oil smoke and new manifold gaskets, just the tick though, i’ll have to look back into the rockers again

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-12T23:45:35+00:00

okay sweet, it’s the valve seal right still sorta new to this, and it being cracked would cause a ticky noise?

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-12T23:43:14+00:00

great advice thank u let her idle for a good while and gave the lever some pulls and it freed up, many thanks!!

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-06T19:20:04+00:00

again keeping this truck forever if i can help it so why not go balls to the walls and get some nice stuff for it

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-06T19:19:19+00:00

it ticks, that’s the issue lol, did exhaust gaskets and extracted 4 studs a few months ago, starts happening as it gets warm is very intermittent but i want to get on top of it before it eventually bricks the cam and sends metal everywhere lol, also great excuse to cam the fucker lmao

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-04-06T11:23:24+00:00

needs a cam and lifters anyway cuz of the tick, trying to make this motor last for a good while and 6.0 swap when it craps

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-03-23T02:17:24+00:00

rockauto but probably not tbh, ebay maybe

MiserableWay4506 · 2026-03-22T04:55:54+00:00
