Brian!! I have a question I hope you can answer. Well I have a 2002 Sierra and it has an oil leak :\ Now I am assuming maybe that the leak is happening on the gaskets that are between the block and the cover. There is a wet spot in the back that's why... Also one more thing, my pressure always falls to 0 when cold and never goes beyond 40. Is that a faulty oil pump? Thank you Brian I would take my truck to you but I live in Glendale Ca and am too far haha, thank you Brian keep on rockin!

@JDSpiderman3 On that motor the oil sending unit or sensor for the gauge is at the back of the engine in the middle up on top just behind the intake manifold (see my intake manifold video on my channel) That could be both problems.

@briansmobile1 what or how did u go about retourqin the rocker arms back down? 

[briansmobile1]

@BigChazMemphis Just line it up and twist them down snug enough to hold in place and then torque them to spec.

[JDSpiderman3]

Wow man thanks a whole lot! You have no idea. Stay awesome the master mechanic!

[briansmobile1]

@JDSpiderman3 You're welcome!

I've slowly been watching all of your uploads as I have time and I must say, you are the absolute MAN! Watching you and others like you, (ErictheCarGuy), really restore my pride in being a Tech. You guys show people there are honest guys out there and they do great work. I also appreciate the fact that you also mini-reviewed the products you used. I love Sea-Foam and B-12 is fantastic. I never had too much of a belief for any motor flush working, but you convinced me. Thanks bro

@briansmobile1 do you remember the torque specs? my 1999 does have the same exact noise.. was gonna try this method? are those years compatable as far as being the same? yours looks like a higher model..

Brian - do you think I've got the same problem (ie, lifter noise)?

It seems to be coming more from the passenger side (front).

How could I go about using GUMOUT motor flush. I have an oil cooler - will that hurt anything? Do I need to remove some oil before I put in any motor flush? Any help would be so appreciated! Thanks!!

@rumtorun By GBC, mean GMC...

Great video! I have a similar problem with my 1990 GBC TBI 350 van. I created a video response. Although the sound isn't the best, you can hear the knock very clearly. Do you suspect a similar procedure will help that vehicle?

@briansmobile1 I have a 99 dodge ramvan 2500 5.2l with 130k on it. I'm getting the same ticking noise, oil was really dirty when i bought it 3 months ago, i changed it a few times (10w30) then got the ticking noise. My question is without removing the rocker arm couldn't i spray some wd-40 or b12 down the rocker opening with the little red tube? and do a high mileage oil flush? i hate to mess with the valve adjustment. thanks for your videos btw.

@jsnyara, I just started using high octane fuel and the spark knock is almost gone. Would suck if I had to pull a trailer on regular 87 octane with the chatter. Seems like a waste to run high octane in my truck, I get 14.8 per gallon... Thanks for the input!

@andersonrowland if you can't get it to go away its probably your map/maf sensor.
