Zen Vet Master Level VII
A really good tuner that works with a ton of Corvettes here in Seattle listened to it today. He said it was so minor that if it was his he'd put a zinc oil supplement in and "drive the **** out of it". ....The sound is almost all gone now..... I doubt I would notice it if I wasn't looking for it.
Never the less, I need to get into that valve cover and see what's really going on.

Thank you, gentleman. I appreciate your guidance. I'll post something later on when/if there are any developments. For now, I'll be pushing through in the left lane.

Sounds like the "tick" I get from my fuel regulator but it doesn't look like you have one. At least not from the youtube video. Mine is right over the passenger side fuel rail cover. Looks like a little pancake inline with the fuel line. Maybe yours is somewhere else?

Tuner in question?
I was told if you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all...now that I've said that, your "tuner" doesn't know what they're talking about. I would have certainly agreed with him in regards to the zinc additive, if these engines had flat tappet cams, which they don't. The fact of replacing the oil and filter probably helped with the noise you were hearing, not the additive.
