Strange noise coming from my engine
Hello all,
This Memorial day weekend for me will be devoted to fixing this strange noise coming from my engine. I think it is a valve problem BUT i thought why not ask the great community on the corvette forum to help me diagnose this issue.
the knock/tick come in threes and it sounds like its on the drivers side. any thoughts will help thanks in advance!

It's hard to say. Go get a mechanics stethoscope & you should be able to isolate it. I believe it is valvetrain noise but sometimes the injectors can get pretty noisy.
The stethoscopes are around $25 at the big box auto parts stores.
