Hey all, I got a 99 Tahoe 5.7L vortec with around 200,000 kilometers, that developed steady what I believe is lifter tick about a year ago at all rpm's. It is loud tapping coming from the top passenger side of the motor...I changed the oil with regular 5w30 and added lucas oil stabilizer but no help.
I doubt seafoaming or synthetic oil will quiet down this motor..
anyone have any last haymaker things i should try before I take it to the shop to have the lifters done?
and does anyone know how long it usually takes to do the lifters so I can prepare myself for the buttraping I'm about to receive at the mechanics?
