Thanks for the info. I’m assuming because they are roller style they tend to be a little louder than stock? Have been hearing a ticking and have no leaks anywhere, I’m replacing the valve cover gasket and grommets. Car runs perfect no codes. Just seemed a little louder than my buddy’s stock c5.

Any ticking or odd noises should be investigated. If you can narrow the sound to a rocker pull it off and check the rollers as bearings go bad at times. HS rockers are a value brand so they are not top dollar.
Make sure the springs are not binding or there is some geometry issue with the valve train. Could be wrong push rods too.
Hard to call just from a web post but that is what you can check for.
