As I said in the other guys thread. Mine sounds the same and I'm at 18k and I drive that car like I stole it half the time.
So I'm pretty sure it's normal. The only sound that mine made that wasn't normal was a loose header bolt was causing a slight exhaust leak at one time and I just snugged the bolt up and that noise was gone. |

Yeah you might also want to send an oil sample to Blackstone labs and they will tell you if you have a problem.

Everything said above is true I think, but I feel you are good.

Ok, so I had a few days to really pay attention to the LT1 noises on cold start up. The Bottom line is, these engines are noisy on start-up and you WILL more than likely hear some metallic tapping during the first couple minutes or so as the oil gets distributed throughout the valve train. From what I gathered doing some research, this is normal. The important thing is that the noise goes away soon after the idle settles. If you notice the noise after the engine is warmed up or it's constantly there at idle, you may have an issue that needs to be looked at. Note that this noise is separate from the DI tick - which is always there at idle and totally normal.
The above is only my opinion. If you still have doubts, better to take it in to be sure. I have a video I'll try to get posted later. Last edited by torqueaddict; 04-02-2018 at 01:23 PM. Reason: Grammar |

What is DI tick?? I bought 2018 1le a week ago, and similar ticking got my attention, but its constant even after 1h drive, when idling you can hear it kinda like the sound klip from Corvette but mine is more delicate. So I guess it's all good roght??
I will do my oil change at 500 miles and diff. 5years ago I was using royal purple on my previous camaro, is it still good?? I hear A LOT ABOut amsoil, does anyone have picture how it looks exactly?? So I know what I am looking for? Quote:

I dont even notice it anymore. I've heard other LT1s and I'm pretty sure it is the injectors or harmonics of some kind.
I cut the filter and found nothing abnormal.

It might just be a late model GM thing. My work van used to be a 2014 2500 Express van with the 6.0 in it and it ticked constantly.
It had 263k on it before they retired it. Never had an engine failure. |

Yeah, they're definitely noisy. My LS3 was noisy too. The injectors are a big contributor as are the roller rockers, lifters, and the composite intake manifolds seem to amplify things from within.

My engine ticks and rattles like yours. So does every other SS I’ve seen in person. I put a stethoscope on mine and confirmed the metallic tick comes from my fuel rails and injectors. Normal. Follow the link I provided, I compiled a database of our noisy engines. Hopefully to ease some people’s minds, and confirm suspicions of a failing engine. Give it a browse, and please link your soundclips there.

I followed previous link with other ppl sounds clip and I can definitely tell it's normal, it's the light ticking like every single camaro there. So I might just post a sound clip over there for others, because for some new comers like myself it is very helpful and mind relief. Drive safe guys! |

Someone did a posting on this issue last year and determined it's in the exhaust system like the pre-cats bolts needing tightening. Do a search on this forum and you should find the post. My 2016 is at 22,000 miles and does the same as yours. After it warms up and idles down it stops ticking. IMO you don't have any worries with your 1LE. Good luck!
