Author Topic: Engine Noise wilfox1 New Member Member # 1612 posted                    There is a pronounced engine noise in my 2001 Camaro SS. I believe it is piston slap and the Dealer says its the rocker arms. Does anyone else have this problem or has had it fixed?

Hope that helps.. -------------------- '02 Blue SS, SLP #0397 Commemorative Portfolio, Front Mats Custom Rear Deck Mat, Key Fobs Dash Plaque Posts: 60 | From: Ellicott City, Md. | Registered: Mar 2002  |  IP: Logged NATESS 3rd Gear Member # 982 posted                    Wilfox, a small amount of ticking sound is normal for the LS1 engines. however, it should not be too loud. i too have a loud ticking sound coming from deep within my engine. Steve da Wrench said that it is the lifters. have not got it fixed yet. the first dealer i went to said it was normal. i will go to several others until i can find one that agrees with me that it is Definately not normal to tick that loud. -------------------- 2002 Navy Blue SS #0214 Hard Top SLP: floor mats, rear deck mat, 10-spoke chrome wheels, key fobs & dash plaque, grille.
