2014 Camaro SS TICKING PROBLEM?! NORMAL???

- As you can see there is ticking on the driver side, lightweight knocking on the passenger side. Engine also has a small shake at idle. Looking for suggestions or recommendations please.
2014 Camaro SS (Stock)
Run a thinner motor oil, esp with the cold weight; try either 5w-40 or 0w-40, if you wanna stick with the heavier hot oil weight. I can’t tell if mine ever made the same sound, or if it went from one side of the engine to the other; I kept my cosmetic engine cover on until I went from the factory spec 5w-30 oil, to 0w-40 (newer oil specs for GM LT engines).
I currently run 0w-40, and mine ticks on the passenger side upon cold starts, but will quiet down as it idles down and warms up within 3-5 minutes. It’s a lot more noticeable if you don’t have the cosmetic engine cover installed.
I don’t plan on using oil stabilizer or running a thicker oil (cold weight), as I feel like this is more of just a “bandage” for a non-resolvable, typical, expected occurrence.
Supposedly, it’s loud fuel injector noises on cold starts. Mine quiets/calms down as the engine warms up and idles down.
As many have said on here, it's normal. LSx engines make a lot of valvetrain noise. I first got introduced to it on my 2000 Silverado 5.3L. It did it from the day I bought it brand new. Put 75k on the truck until I traded it in on my 2005 GTO LS2. It ticked. Traded that in on a 2006 Silverado 5.3L. It ticked. Decided I wanted a GTO again, so I traded it for a 2006 GTO LS2, of course, and it ticked. Kept that car until I bought my 2011 Camaro SS LS3 in 2014. It ticks, and still ticks to this day (yes, I still have it). Never had a problem with any of them. I wouldn't worry too much about it, unless you hear a loud knocking sound. These engines are pretty damn strong and reliable. Just drive it, and keep the oil changed. It's doubtful that you will have an issue with it.
I’m thinking about buying a 2014 red rock Camaro 1/ss with 38k miles. Would it be reliable basically could I depend on it as a summer vehicle for at least 30k miles because I’m thinking about buying a Kia instead for reliability. I’ve had Kia In the passed and it’s the most reliable vehicle I ever owned. The first time I bought American was about 2 years ago and I’ve already taken a hit financially with repairs. My Kia went 8+years without anything going wrong. Needless to say I’d obviously rather drive a ls3 Camaro and bang gears but I’m worried I’ll regret it if the Camaro ss has problems. I don’t drive really crazy I’m anal about warming up my vehicles and I only race when rival manufacturers pull up and my vehicle is warmed up or I’m on a straight long road
@@ryansalamah6849 My mom bought a Kia Optima right about the same time I got my 14 Camaro SS. Both had about 14-20k. At 80k miles the Kia began to knock and needed major work. My Camaro recently caught up to her Kia and at 80k still purrs like she just left the plant.
First things to think:
1- oil level
2- oil condition , is it old ?
3- is the last oil change 5w30 dexos?
It's normal shes running fine
Most ls3 and L99 do that lifter ticking sound. It's kind of "normal" even tho I don't like it. I was told that there was a new set of lifters to fix this issue and GM was aware of it. True or false, I don't know. I just make sure to have the right type of oil in the engine and one thing that I belive made a difference was using 93 oct. Fuel.
I only use 93
Mine did it recently and it was confusing/scary cause it randomly started ticking on a cold start when i got off work not on my way to work
Then went back to normal
What was the problem??? What did car max tell you?
I have the same car, just started doing this, have had it over a year and a half… so confused
I have the same exact sound coming out
Have you figure out what the problem was?
Did you just got the car?
Or the hydraulic lifters they make a clicking noise like that it’s supposed too. You’re welcome more information on all cars and the reason more explained in the reply
I had a clicking noise just like it and so does everyone else if you got stock exhaust you’re gonna hear it it’s the hydraulic lifters making their clicking noises.

@@JOE-zq5jv same problem I have camaro 2016
The lt1 in the 6gen sounds the exact same. I thought it was a problem to guess not..
Mine was making that sound and went to do a cam swap and turned out I have a lifter gone bad that wore down a lobe on the cam by 1/8 in. So I would check tbh because I also thought it was “Normal”. Glad I caught it though better then buying a whole new engine. 🤷🏽♂️
Is it a l99 with AFM? I deactivated and then deleted my AFM a while back because of the lifters. I think you are ok but just keep a eye on it because if it gets louder you may need to replace a lifter and if you do just delete the AFM and VVT with a ls3 conversion kit while your in there
lifters or could be exaust manifold gasket
My 2012 LS3 makes a similar noise but only when its at operating temp...that tells me that's not a lifter but it's still annoying.
Yea this is normal, seems to be a quirk of modern big block V8s, I dont have a camaro but I have a 5.0 mustang that makes similar noises, Challengers with Hemi's do the same thing as well...gotta remember these V8s are HUGE, lots of moving parts lol they're noisy, try adding some ceratec or something to your oil, that quieted my engine down a little
Lol even the 6.2 is not a big block
Sound like the injectors I hear those all the time on every gm even the high pressure fuel injection do that exact sound
As a collapsed lifter,I try to keep up my end of the deal...
I have the same sound its the lifters im the head
It’s a warranty issue with the clogged oil passage to the lifter. Congratulations you just got a free motor if it’s still under warranty
Did u figure out what it was my 2010 rs makes the same noise
That’s a normal noise there VVT thats what they do
Not normal. My 2011 didn’t sound like that.
I literally just had that issue
My 2010 SS did the exact same noise. I’m at 103k miles and the car still runs great. I did switch oil from Mobil 1 to Pennzoil Platinum and it reduced the noise a bit. Maybe try that?
how is it holding up? copping a 2010 SS tomorrow 1 owner 95k miles. I’m paying 18 but it’s clean
@@TrayJayRecords I have a 2014 with 143k miles and it’s great
@@mjo3275 awesome. I’m getting it next weekend. I can’t wait
@@TrayJayRecords Mine has been holding up great! Currently at 130k miles and have had zero issues
@@elkillerx good to hear. mine has been absolutely flawless and I light up those rear wheels once a dau
i recently went to go look at a 2010 camaro ss i took the oil cap off when i started the car and it would make like a small vibrating noise to the engine & when i would put the oil cap back on it would make the noise go away is this normal?
Bro what 🤣
Prolly cuz you messed with the pressure
5w40 oil with header exhaust wrap, and youll barely hear it at all.
It is not normal it's the AFM lifters causing the problem happened in mind happening right now it is at the dealership 2014 Camaro SS 6.2 automatic transmission just bought the car used last week drove it home parked it took it out 15 minute drive to get something to eat into town got back home pulled in the garage lifter tapping like hell! Oil pressure gauge also fluctuating around at a steady RPM
That’s a normal noise there VVT thats what they do
Even if it’s on from one side mine only makes it from the driver side ?
Juan LSX Yah its fine mine only makes it n that side to. At the car club all the Camaro make that noise.
I just took mine to the dealership yesterday they said it's the lifters sticking or needing replaced
That’s what my dad told me but I guess the noise is normal
@@joedub969 been hearing that on My 2003 silverado vortec engine currently at 350k miles runs strong.
Do your best to use premium oil like amsoil stuff to not have the sound cause a bigger issue.
Same thing here and it will cost me like $2500 hundred to fix it 😮💨 can you tell me what did you do
@@0mziyyt226 did you figure it out?
Driver side sound okay. Passenger side. Not so great
Add octane booster... my knocking went away.
LIFTERS!!! having this problem currently
End up fixing it?
Aye itz 1 if yo spark plugs
Have you found out why it is making the noise..? I have a 2012 LS3 & it makes the same ticking noise.
James Lewis II I actually found out the car was sitting over a year at carmax. I bought then delivered a beating to it. After awhile all the ticking and knocking went away.
I have the same. Louder from under the car. If it is normal i hate it.
@@ariamaguila8247 same here
@@hermanthiel510how did u get the ticking to leave?
Damm bck here a year later
Just got a 2015 two days ago it’s doing the same thing but only on the driver side 🤷♂️
My 2015 v6 has that same sound. I bought mines brand new. That sound comes with the car. Hopefully, you will enjoy yours. I put 250k on mine. I couldn't stop driving it.
@@oggwop6724 yeah been doing research and apparentely this is a normal sound for the LS3.. aluminum block.. mines only the driver side aswell
@@Ak67889 okay. Remember to change the transmission fluid if the car has low mileage. That would make the transmission last forever, especially if you drive like a maniac like me.
@@oggwop6724 it’s got around 37,000 Kilometres! Good to do now?
@@Ak67889 doing it now wont hurt, do it before your hit 55k
For chevy LS engine is normal but then a chevy owner hears a hemi engine and says typical hemi engines blowing up
Maybe previous owner drive the shit out of it and didnt serve it properly?
Normal noise, try using 5w40 or 3w40
That’s like saying just use diesel with low grade gas instead of premium gas big no thank you.
Oil viscosity is very important as it needs to flow where it needs to go at that flow (viscosity is the measurement speed of which liquid flows, having a thicker oil you will have to have a lack of oil pressure on high contact parts causing them to wear out faster or prematurely break due to heat from the friction)
Tighten up the lifters
How do you tighten up the lifters?😂
Most realistic answer yet
