I popped my hood when I got home the other day and my passenger side cam cover sounds like it has marbles rattling around in it! I was a quart low on oil but adding some didn't help. I really didn't believe it was a top-end oiling issue but one can hope.
The shop I called says it's probably a cam chain tensioner or worse. They quoted me $700 labor for a PI head/intake swap. Good deal? I've heard of others paying much more and these guys definitely know what they're doing. They work on Mustangs (more than anything else) and LS1s all day every day. I'd do the swap myself but I don't have the time, place or all the tools needed right now and the noise is getting louder just 2 days later.
I didn't even get a chance to race the car w/ the 3:73s, King Cobra and SFCs. I guess the next trip to Orlando Speedworld will have to be post-PI swap as well.
