I'll keep y'all posted on how it goes. The lifters and head gasket are on backorder due to the GM strike but I think the strike was settled today. Hopefully I can get this fixed before more damage occurs.

If you go with an aftermarket camshaft that is designed to add more performance, you better make sure whoever tunes it knows their stuff.

 

These GEN 5 torque based computers are very complex and do not take lightly to bad calibrations.

For the hell of it check all your exhaust manifold bolts. If one it backing off or broke off/missing it could be that.

 

Otherwise it's a lifter not pumping up right away, drive it until something happens.

While waiting for the back ordered parts from BTR due to the GM strike I took your advice and took a look at the bolts. F'ing 3 bolts are missing from the passenger side and exhaust is staining the heads on those ports with the missing bolts, so definitely leaking there. The bolts are broke off inside the head so I may have to pull the heads anyway. Thanks for the advice.

Now I'm not sure the tick noise is from the exhaust leak or the lifters or both.

I'm going to attempt to remove the fender well to access the broken bolts, then see if the noise stops.

It wasn't too bad. I was able to remove the tire and inner fender well and had all the room I needed. I removed the remaining bolts that held the manifold on, the spark plugs and pried the manifold down enough to center punch and drill out the center of the broken bolts and used an easy out to remove the bolts from the head. Bolted everything back up with new bolts, started it up and no more noise. about 3.5 hours of work...

What fooled me was the noise only happened when the engine was cold and it went away after 15 seconds. You would think the noise would be there as long as the engine was running and got louder with acceleration. It sounded like lifters to me, lol

 

Now lets see if BTR will give me a refund for the parts I ordered

 

By the way, If you ever want to change the spark plugs I recommend doing it from the fender well, way easier that way at least for the gen v trucks.

      injector cleaner 2021 2.7 1500 silverado

      By TheGeek · Posted

      From what I gather, you have a 2.7 Diesel  You cannot use Chevron gas in it.  Howes has a diesel add-in and it states it cleans injectors.  Me personally, wouldn't bother with it.  If it's not broke, don't fix it.     Just my two cents worth.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Looking up on the web you can the information that would seem obvious. You asked engine components to do more. You get more wear. The answer is they can last just as long but required more maintenance. Apparently having to change lifters, cam and associated components are maintenance or repairs. In some research the normal life span of valve train components are 80-100 miles with 3-5K miles oil change. So the next logical conclusion would be cost per mile. I use that analogy with my wife all the time with vehicles. My Odyssey is approaching 170K. The cost per mile will go up at 200K with maintenance. Looking at a low cost car. A K-4 with a 10-10 warranty. Selling my Ridgeline that’s about to hit the same maintenance milestone. My argument becomes not only I get worry free driving. But at no cost increases. Because I take the money from my Ridgeline and maintenance savings and other potential savings. I’m driving for free. So tying it with a bow. It makes you wonder. Is this a grand conspiracy by the auto makers? Raise the potential maintenance high enough. Buyers by extended warranty to 100K miles. Do the minimum maintenance required. Trade in at the warranty end. How long should they last? That question is what keeps people up at night. The answer is much more complicated than it used to be.

      Could you cite your source on this?  I cannot find any reference to the US secretly taking the oil.  I find references that the US helped oil tankers move through the Strait of Hormuz, but nothing about what you're stating.

      Since the media YOU and your buddies are programmed to watch failed to mention this, I'll fill you in.   Trump admitted today that we've grabbed 150 MILLION barrels of oil from the Iranian tankers locked in the Strait by our Navy. We turned off their transponders, took them out to sea in the dark of night since they have zero radar capabilities anymore, offloaded every drop onto another vessel, and put them back by morning so no one was the wiser. That oil has been en-route THROUGHOUT the entire conflict.   Main reason he admitted this is to let even guys on our own side who joined leftists in complaining about the prices that he hears us all, and has taken steps to make sure this didn't spiral into a BAD situation ... just like the mainstream media has been PRAYING would happen, just so they could gloat. Amazes me how these people are rooting for the destruction of THEIR OWN HOME, just to make a President they don't agree with or like look bad! That's next level TDS!   I know your not capable of giving our President the benefit of the doubt, again due to your deep programming, but THIS is why oil never hit $150 a barrel as predicted by your programmers, AND the reason oil continues falling. Like I said before, Trump's got a plan, and this is proof of it. By the end of his term, we're going to be in GREAT shape for a change!   Since I just spent $3,000 this week on #2 heating oil and gasoline, the war most certainly is ending! 🤣   https://mxmnews.com/article/ba359ac9-2711-4851-92de-187f2400f2dd?breaking-trump-cancels-iran-strikes-deal-now-approved-by-all-parties
