Dreaded lifter ticking 2016 2SS
Well got home from work and heard a tick on passenger side and check engine.
Code is for knock sensor but I am thinking might be lifter collapse. (turned off 4 cyl mode with hptuners about 4 months ago.) 90,000 on motor. Going to replace knock sensor and see if it helps.
If it does not, I am going to DOD delete, and was wondering if anyone has ran a BTR 220 cam with no other mods, stock everything. I know i will be choking it for a bit until I do headers etc, but at this moment i have no choice.
They dropped some hours at work and just need to keep it running.
Any advice would be appreciated.
If cam is good can I just replace all lifters and DOD delete and press on? Would I need different pushrods?( have built old school small blocks with my brother but none of the ls or lt engines.)
