Question for those that have harden pushrods...
Do you hear your pushrods going up and down? When I get on my new motor I can hear a clicking that gets faster as the car gets faster. The mechanic said it is the hardened pushrods. Any views?

no, typical valvetrain sound in the LSx motors......even the truck motors make alot of valvetrain noise
if you have real TIGHT springs, they are noisy as hell too
hope that helps

A current and well-known (little) issue with LS1/LS6 Engines. I also wait for the final verdict on my Car and I will have to act before my GM-warranty sees the end - end of april this year. My Car does this sort of "ticking noise" after cold start and until everything reaches normal operating temps. The noise also varies with engine-rpm and disappears after warm-up.
I am sure I bought a C5 and NOT sort of a sewing machine......... :eek: :cry

I have those as well, along with the Ti retainers, and Comp 918 springs. Good, that is one issue that is solved since others have it.
