Knocking Sound

[benwin82]

I have a 99 Chevy Camaro that has a knocking sound in the mornings when i start my car, or when the car has been sitting for a while. The oil pressure gauge needle is not in the middle anymore it is slightly off the the left. Do I need to replace the lifters or could it be the oil pump. If the lifters need to be replaced what HP internal engine components are out there for the camaro. Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: Knocking Sound

lifters create more fo a ticking sound when they are bad. A knock indicates it might be more of a serious problem.

Your right it is more of a ticking sound. It only last a few minutes then goes away.
