head gaskets are cheap but all the head bolts are torque to yield and will need to be replaced. Probably looking at $75-$100 for all the odds and ends

Derrick get some new heads! Oh and I saw your 95 this morning on airport road, new owner seems to think that he is faster than me. I watched him go flying down airport road and continued doing 45.

Did you fix this yet? The cheap fix would probably be the oil pump pick up tube O-Ring. Had the same EXACT problem on my buddy's car and we spent over a MONTH trying to figure it out. The X7 lefter is the first to get oil. If the o-ring is bad, then that #7 (driver's side, last cyl back) lifter is not getting sufficient oil = ticking. We EVEN installed brand new LS7 lifters and it still ticked.
Thicker oil pump o-ring GM# 12557752 http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/genera...r-preload.html Watch his oil pressure boppin around. You can kinda hear it tickin like crazy.

No i havent fixed it yet. Gonna change the oil tomorrow and maybe try the atf stuff. I couldnt really hear the ticking on my speakers. The exhaust just drowned everything out. But that could be it because it is on the drivers side and sounds like its coming from the very back one. Yea tony that guy is a little weird. He was annoying the crap out of me so bad i ended up leaving a bill of sale with my father and he gave the rest of the money to him. He's been texting me all day yesterday and this morning asking me how to fix the window motors and other shit.

is your oil pressure bouncing around? if its below 45 at idle it will tick. ask navy allll about that one. haha. id say if the oil pressure is low i wouldnt add ATF. id look deeper into the oil pump and pick up tube assembly

Here's a good ticking video.. kind of.. Sounded like it was coming from the collector area, that's what was so deceiving about it. .
I'd almost put money on it that it's the pick up tube O-Ring.. I'm that certain.. I've been thru this.. You're about to go thru it too.. Read thru that thread on tech.. it took a SOLID MONTH of throwing parts at the fukin car to FINALLY get it.. was that damn $3 O-Ring. If I'm still around when you do it, get the water pump off and I'll do the oil pump for ya. I've got the tricks to do it without dropping the oil pan. (skinny fingahs and a "Custom 10mm wrench.. lol ) I bought two of those O-Rings. one for the install, and a second for insurance. Sorry, I meant the #7 cyl lifters are the first to get oil, the last one in line on the driver's side. It's something to do with the ported oil pumps. Or else your o-ring got pinched somehow, or blown out or god knows what. I'd replace the oil pump while you're in there. What year was the car/engine again?

Im not sure when im gonna do it. It would be great that i wouldnt have to drop the oil pan since i just had everything welded under there. Gonna try and change the oil tomorrow if it doesnt rain. It's a 2000 z28 for reminders. Video doesnt do justice. Mine is a little more noticable. But thats exactly where the noise is coming from.
