if it is a 02 it came with a ls6/z06 intake also if there z06 heads you should see a 243 casting number also NOS installed but never used I hope you knew damn well that guy was lying seem like he sold you a lemon
You are probaly right. It's a real damn shame you can't take a mans word anymore. Guess it's my fault as well I should have done a little more research first, O well this is where I'm at now. Thanks for the comment !

At the OP expense, this is a learning lesson to those in the market for a car. Do NOT buy a car that has a nitrous kit on it. Most of the time, guys selling nitrous cars are selling them because they beat the ever living piss out of it and now it's starting to have problems.
yeah i wouldnt buy a car that had been sprayed unless i knew it well or drove it for at least 30 or so miles till i knoew the engine was warm and not knocking... its easy for someone to spray the guts out of ANY car

Stock....for now
Pulled the vavle cover, no issues with rockers or pushrods. The sounds really seems to be under the intake now. You can feel it on the intake bolts, cant feel anything on the valve covers or heads. My luck its a rod or something in the bottom end.
I had a 350 that supn 2 rod barrings and bent two push rods it made the same noise as yours. and it still had 50psi cold and 30 psi warm of oil presser. have you checked your oil for specks of mettle.

Go ahead and drain the oil out. Cut your filter open and have a look to see if there are any pieces of metal in there. It sounds to me like a possible bearing failure. It has slightly low oil pressure, should be around 40 @ idle.
Did you pull all the pushrods? You need to pull them out, and roll them across a glass table or something flat. Shake all your rockers and listen for anything that sounds out of the ordinary, I've heard of the needle bearings coming out of the stock rockers. Definitely drain the oil and have a look though before running it anymore.

Will do. Found a truck to buy so car has to go. Lowered the price to $10,000. Thanks
my bet is bent pushrods and a spun bearing/rod knock
my car had 3 bent pushrods, a spun bearing, rod knock, failed lifter, every valve hit every piston, a bearing shot out of my water pump, and still survived about 10 runs on the dyno making 302 rwhp before we decided to shut it down and pull it apart to find out what all the noise was about

Wow thats crazy ! Looks like your back on the road now.
Your for sale thread states that you bought the car with the issue. Here you say it didn't have the issue until after you bought it and claim the seller was dishonest with you. Just curious why you have two different stories?

The car was running right when we traded, when I started to head home about 12-15 miles the noise started. My for sale ad was copied and pasted from a CL ad that my buddy listed for me. I didn't even notice that, Thanks ! I will get that changed, as I have nothing to hide. Sorry for the different stories!
