Did you rotate the motor and retorque to spec. If not you may just have one or two a little loose.

Rotate it 3-4 times and TQ them to 22 ft-lb's. Possible one is loose.

If 2 were loose I would roll it a couple more times and re-tq.

Just TQ them a few times after rotating the motor over. You dont have to do it over and over.

www.ls1howto.com outlines the task very well!
