He also had like 15 PSI of oil pressure at idle too though, as soon as he goosed the throttle and the Oil pressure went up above 30 his tick would go away. Take it to Don, do it the smart way.

Without hearing it first hand? not on your life

^ I've heard it before. I know what it sounds like. This an't my first rodeo... lol

I went thru this same ordeal on my buddy's 02 SOM SLP SS with his heads and cam swap. Came from the same area, and sounded the same.. Not the sewing machine noise, this sounds like a knock, but it's deceiving because it sounds like it's coming from the collector or the wheel well area. We thought it was the wrong push rod length so we did THREE pushrod changes, and none fixed the knocking. Then we got a push rod length checker and got the right size. We thought it was dead lifters, so we tore the car BACK apart again to replace the lifters. THEN we did the oil pump O-Ring. The O-Ring fixed it.

There wasn't a reputable, local LS* place out west, so most of the people came to me with their problems. = LOTS of research. Had a very mild vibration on a 99TA that was a pain to locate. It only did it at 1400rpm. Was reluctant to make that call with the car having 115k on it.

I will take the bet it isn't the O-ring though. With good oil pressure it can't be. it would either fluctuate or just be low.

^ It's something along those lines. Pump or pickup.

^^ i venture to say IF it is a bad lifter. its JUST a bad lifter. the more i think about it. if the oil pressure is good and the oil pump was never fucked with. why would it be the pick up or o ring?

Video wont do any good because you cant even hear anything over the exhaust. Second not is that it wont upload in my email because it is too large. Its gonna end up having to be in person. But im leaving for florida in 2 weeks so idk.
