Hey all!

I recently picked up my ZL1 1LE and have been loving every mile of it. I had the car PPIed before I bought it and everything came up clean. Odometer currently has 4,500 miles on it, and the car has a clean history.

Since I've got it, I've noticed a strange ticking noise coming from the engine bay; it seems to amplify when moving closer to the passenger side, closer to the front of the hood. I've gone ahead and linked two videos of the noise here:

Pt 1: https://youtube.com/shorts/gdYdMrSlf9c?feature=share

Pt 2: https://youtube.com/shorts/Ad_t24-scH8?feature=share

The obvious concern I have; lifter tick. Is there a possibility that this is lifter tick (or perhaps something even worse)? Should I send the car into the dealer to be looked at? I believe I'm still under my powertrain warranty until November of this year, so I'd like to get this taken care of sooner rather than later.

Thanks to anybody that can provide any insight, here's hoping for the best!

If you've still got some warranty go ahead and send it to the dealer and have it checked out.
