I"m going to be doing an LS1 swap in my truck within this month, but since my truck is my DD, I need some help keeping it alive and pinpointing my problem.
Bottom line is it's knocking, and a few of the local guys here told me its one of my lifters.
I thought it was a rocker arm so I pulled them all off and re torqued them to 22ft lbs. In the process I pulled all the pushrods out and cleaned them off. All of the rods had oil coming out from them except one of them. What does that mean..?
And if it's a lifter, all I would need to do is take the intake manifold off correct? Along with the rocker arms of course. Thanks guys.

 

for a lifter, you gotta take the heads off.

 

SBC yes.....all you need to do is remove the intake. But you don't have a SBC engine lol
