Jeff, i bet you can pick up a 383 ls1 shortblock pretty reasonable now with all the newer stuff out

I think the o-ring is pinched

Id pull the pushrods and see if any are bent. It sounds like that could be a possible culprit. Also when you did your headers..what gaskets did you use? have checked for exhaust leaks off the headers?

Thats what I told him. Its deff not an exhaust leak tho. It sounds like a pushrod was just a little bent before and now its really bent and its banging around in there.

I hope thats all it is, Mike what are you doing this evening? Wanna find out what it is?

[TSTONE]

sounds like a lifter to me - but it's so hard when youre not in front of it

is it missing at all?

[99TransAmWS6]

im gonna stick with saying its a pushrod.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

it does not have a mis at all and I get no lights on or any effect on driving itself.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

I found the problem....




.....and couldn't be happier that its not a lifter, now its time to get a replacement set and change the oil because I'm sure it has metal in it now. Also most of the rockers were loose, as in side to side movement so they will all be removed and retorqued. Anyone got a set of stock rockers for cheap.

[c0ncEpT]

Yeah that one looked a little rough didn't it

[Phantom409]

Glad you found it

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Does anyone have a stock rocker they'd like to get rid of? I need one for a track rental next week.
