There are articles on the internet about both LS1 and LT1 piston noise, there is an actual sound recording of normal (quote from gm) knock, it is loud, and it is a hammering noise not a lifter tick, just by the way it changes with engine RPM indicates to me it is piston noise, and it can be...
I recently had my 1996 LT1 in for a knock cold, the dealer explained this is a normal piston noise and not to worry, all knocks worry me with the cost of repairs these days. Anyone have thoughts, or maybe the same situation with their LT1? I should mention the noise is gone after a few miles of...
