I finally spoke to the po .He wanted to buy the car back lol He bought a new Raptor because his wife is expecting) and he said the heads were done at american heritage with their #4 package with btr springs and retainers and kept the stock cam/lifters about 6000 miles ago. I hate hearing that tick!! I seem to hear it better when I'm in the car coming to a stop or between shifts when engine is idling down. i hear a clack clack clack not super loud but i hear it.

Car is a 08 zo6

Injectors?

Lifters more than likely, but have you taken the valve covers off to check rocker arms?

MTPZ06

Agreed...easy to do. Pull the covers and make sure everything looks clean and tight. I'd say inspect for lash caps...but at 6,000 miles since the head refresh, a Ti intake valve would've been hammered into a cylinder a long, long time ago.

soo tired of this noisy vt!!! looking at a different car!!

Is it just one on one side or all of them? If just one it shouldn't be to hard to figure out which side it's on. Pull the cover on that side first and inspect. Not knowing the piston to valve clearance on your setup, this might not be the best advice but if I have one that is noisy, I use a .001 feeler gauge and slide it between the rocker and valve stem while running to find the loose one.

almost a year later and still bitching about it... either sell it, or get louder exhaust

Unfortunately, fixing the heads doesn't help the lifters/cam, which had to be replaced in my '08 Z06 after 30,000 miles (including ~ 12,000 on track).

I am just messin with ya, after i had my heads done i went back to the shop to make sure nothing was wrong so i get it. Now i just imagine a lady in a sweat shop sewing things when i hear it

im gonna put in my trunnion bushings this weekend. only had them 4 a year! whats everybody think about thick wall pushrods? I read somewhere that the pr flex may be some of the noise??

corvettenutz

LOL I know sometimes im beered up and forget what i already posted. im **** about vt noise. i have a 72 monte carlo that i bracket race and bought morel link bars and they are dead silent. i just dont want work on the vette . but the noise is getting to me BIGTIME.

corvettenutz

sounds like pass. side at 1500-2200 rpm when loudest

Millenium Z06

Pushrods aren't going to cause any noise unless they're too short, most likely what you have is a bad lifter

CHE bushings instead of stock trunnions

jayyyw

trunnion bushings won't do anything for noise.
