Is there any certian piston or is it random. I ask cause I have a tapping noise coming from the back piston on the pass. side.

So I guess my ? is: what is more common from missing gears or over reving piston slap or a bent rod cause thats the only thing I think I've done is over reved and missed a few gears.

the more imput the better.

Thanx James

BTW the car has 54xxx miles on it

 

you cant over rev by missing a gear unless you down shifted on accident (mechanical over rev). If thats the case, you likely have a bent pushrod. Its very common on an over rev... also, so are bent valves.

 

I did go from the top of 2nd into 1st but once I felt it grap I knew it and pushed the clutch in.....

 

also like I said the ticking noise could be a ton of things

wire arching, exhaust leak, low oil pressure(causing valvetrain noise), etc

do the screw driver test I told you about you lazy mofo and also check all the plug connections

 

check bolts in exhaust manifold..

 

whats piston slap?

 

guess he found out it was a bent pushrod

 

maybe a spun rod??? or do domestic guys not get that?? that can happen shifting 2-1...

 

most likely a bent pushrod....common on ls1's i heard

 

take it to a dlr and have a diagnosis... tell them you want help

what mods do you have
