Wow - that's a new one on me. You DID replace the lifters anyway though, riiiight???Latest Update to anyone still following my motor saga
truck will be completed tomorrow. they put it all back together today and heat cycled it, tuning it in the morning. Doing a gas AND e85 tune And so far...we've ALL been wrong on the noise......ready for what it was......The cam shaft had 2 lobes starting to de-laminate!! Hence the random pitch and revolution sound with the metal on metal sound. So the lifters were all still good, which is...a good thing I guess buuuuut its still DoD deleted with a 6.2 cam haha.

Overachiever!
It get's lower. Don't want it to puke lifters.
Wow!! Sure doesn't seem like 6 years since you owner Silvy. That's crazy.Out of all dozens of used vehicles I have owned over the years, I owned this one the longest so far. 6 years. Had 290K when I got it.
I learned this a long time ago while comparing late 70’s trucks. GM was a decade ahead of the other two tech wise.Working on a chrysler product has given me a new found respect for the engineers at gm.
Had loose bolts on valley cover and oil leak, not exactly sure where from.
Parts were sitting for a while.
Recently saw slight drop in oil pressure and decided to finally tackle everything.
So i went ahead and changed:
- New valley cover
- New oil pressure sensor
- Valve cover gaskets ( i was already down there, why not? Couldve been leaking as well! )
