2005 SLE Lifter Chatter on Deceleration

Post by rynmcdonald »

if I rev the engine, it make a chattering noise. It had gotten to a point where it chattered loudly. I went to get a set from the wrecking yard from a police unit Impala with a 3.8 in it. it helped, but I could still hear the chattering. Wondering if I should get another set from the yard or get a set from ZZP.


Budget is thin though

I would hear that consistenty if the rod bearings were the culprit. I can hear it on the top end.
