    Stock LS1 Valve Springs...

    Now i have some ticking it sounds like a sewing machine under the hood... now i took off the valve cover and i could move my ls1 springs... is that normal... shouldn't they be inplace and be hard to move? i took 3 pushrods and they were fine... please help... it doesn't sound right... and it doesn't sound like a rod knock..

    Did you tighten the rockers down? I'm guessing that the ticking sound is the pushrod.

    What is setup, stock? Any chance of a recent over-rev? The springs will move a bit if not compressed.
