Yes.. in the wonderful world of my car.. some other part has broken. When I start my car (not while it's starting, right after it ignites) It's clicking.. the clicking speeds up if I rev.. but then i drive and it goes away in under 5 min. If i shut off the car, and immediately turn it back on.. it won't do it. If i wait a while it does.. any ideas? Starter? thx

Your starter certainly will NOT make that noise...
could be a little bit of valves sticking or something on a cold start, or injector pulse, which is no big deal. my V6 had injector pulse that was VERY noticeable on startup on cooler days.2011 Camaro LS 6M, in black. -
I had the same kind of problem just a few months ago. It turned out to be a bad lifter. It will tick when first started because their is no oil to lube it. After the engine warms up oil is flowing well, tick goes away. I noticed with my car tick was very consistant with rev's.98 Silver Camaro V6<br />15.238 @91.74 w/ 2.288 60\'<br />Mods: K&N, FTRA, Pacesetter Headers, Spec 3 Clutch, 160 Thermo, TSP Rumbler, 3\" Catco, Whisper Lid, 3.42\'s w/LSD, Aluminum DS, Man Fan Switch<br /><br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomainComment

Mine has been doing this for like 8 months. I believe it to be noisy lifters on my driver's side head.
Tried seafoaming it, different weights of oil..blah blah. Nothing bad has happened yet...-1999 Camaro Coupe 3800 Series II V6 A4 - SOLD<br />-1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP coupeComment

Next time you do a cold start on the car pop the hood and listen around (better to use some sort of tubing to help narrow down the sound). If it seems to be coming from inside the block rather than your injectors, or under your valve covers (rocker problem) then more than likely it is a lifter.98 Silver Camaro V6<br />15.238 @91.74 w/ 2.288 60\'<br />Mods: K&N, FTRA, Pacesetter Headers, Spec 3 Clutch, 160 Thermo, TSP Rumbler, 3\" Catco, Whisper Lid, 3.42\'s w/LSD, Aluminum DS, Man Fan Switch<br /><br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomainComment

I suggest if you are going to do any kind of modding while fixing the lifter's than I would suggest a cam. You are already so deep into the engine that swapping cams makes a lot of sense. Rocker arms are easy to get to and can be swapped pretty easily.98 Silver Camaro V6<br />15.238 @91.74 w/ 2.288 60\'<br />Mods: K&N, FTRA, Pacesetter Headers, Spec 3 Clutch, 160 Thermo, TSP Rumbler, 3\" Catco, Whisper Lid, 3.42\'s w/LSD, Aluminum DS, Man Fan Switch<br /><br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomainComment

are the hp gains from the rocker arms at the wheels or crank? do they put extra stress on the engine? thanks~The Guru\'s Guru~<br />1999 Camaro,K&N,!MAF<br />!airsilencer,3.08s,<br />NGK-TR6\'s,Taylor Blue 8mm wires,FRAM,A4,Catco Cat, Magnaflow 3 inch catback,transgo shift kit<br />Waiting: RK sport headers, custom y pipe electric cutout<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/divinejc\" target=\"_blank\">www.cardomain.com/id/divinejc</a>Comment

They are at the crank I believe. Another thing about the rockers that I forgot to mention. You are talking about the 1.8 lifter/rocker combo? If you go with that you won't be able to go with an aggresive cam. The lift will be too much I believe. Not an expert on that so you might want to search or talk to other people about that.98 Silver Camaro V6<br />15.238 @91.74 w/ 2.288 60\'<br />Mods: K&N, FTRA, Pacesetter Headers, Spec 3 Clutch, 160 Thermo, TSP Rumbler, 3\" Catco, Whisper Lid, 3.42\'s w/LSD, Aluminum DS, Man Fan Switch<br /><br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomainComment

Id say its something with the valves or a rocker arm or something, when ur oil pressure gets higher from driving its probably making the sound go away
Id definetely have your heads and rockers looked at.\'01 Trans Am WS6 5.7L M6<br />Stock now w/ K&N and whisper lid<br />Coming soon: B&B Triflow catback, MAF, 85mm throttlebody, headers, supercharger?Comment
