The only Fbody I ever owned was a '94 Trans Am I picked up to flip. Pretty much your standard red T/A with a ticking noise in the LT1. I was sure it was valvetrain related and tried everything to fix it. Ended up selling it for break-even price. I gave the buyer full disclosure and he drove it 4 hours to get it home. Noise never got worse. Got a call a few days later saying he went over everything I did thinking I missed something or screwed something up. He was convinced it was valvetrain too. Turns out it was a rod bearing. I've heard a lot of bad bottom ends and never has one sounded like that. It "ticked" in time with the cam not the crank and was loudest on the RF top corner and quiet under the car. I made nothing but learned alot. Can't find pics - not sure I even took any.

Bad rod bearings seem to be very common in lt1's. I forget the exact reason but it has something to do with factory bearing clearances and the 5w30 oil they tell ya to run.

[oldiejams]

seems like every other person sees mustang as their "dream car", they must have never seen a camaro, especially a first gen.
