yes i found several videos with a similar sound that had lifter issues. also reading discussions on ls1 about comp xer profiles makes me wonder too in combination with the springs i found the motor is running on.

this is moving so slow with early dark and this crap weather.
ok, i have the pan off now. i found a little metal on the magnet but nothing to speak of in the pan. i was about ready to start pulling the head off today if rain doesn't chase me off, but was wondering if i should pull rod caps off first to check further on my bottom end?
with my frozen hands i couldn't find anything that stood out to me. i only get a little back and forth play along the crank, and no vertical movement. none on the small end/pin either.

Just lost a lifter myself after my Patriot Performance Stage III heads bit the dust and I dropped on a set of AFRs. Had about 150 miles on it and it crapped out. Chewed up a lobe on the cam & scraped up the bearings something fierce. Had to pull the longblock and get 'er refreshed. Got it done last night so I'm on my 500 baby drive. If its a lifter, you would have some metal in the pan - best to pull the heads and see what's going on before it gets worse. Most of all -DON'T run the motor again until you figure out what it is.

i have found a squishy(??) lifter, but nothing else. i can press the plunger down easily with my finger. the roller looks to be in great shape so i think my cam will be fine. i still need to pull the drivers side head off to get those lifters out and check them all.
if this is the cause of the issue i guess i can chalk it up as a failed lifter check ball? sure was noisey though for not being completely collapsed.
