I think I'll have to try that. that's when I put the tip of the screwdriver on different parts of the engine, correct?

Also, I noticed that when the engine is cold it does not tick at all, or anytime during warmup. Once the engine reaches operating temps, the ticking returns.

Anyone know good shops in Central Jersey area that know LT1 engines really well (specifically in the Trenton/Hamilton/Robbinsville areas)?
