95 silverado 350 4l60e making soft ticking sound

[dodgeman]

I bought this 95 ext cab sport side z71 never seen another one like it in my area or before really but thats besides the point i have this strange tick when i first start the engine it ticks loud 4 times then i can only hear it above 1,500rpms when driving or reving not rhe engine almost sounds like its inbetween my transmission and engine could it be my flex plate? i can hesr it better if u lean down towards the tranny tunnel and if im under it and someone revs it i can hear it right there where my plate it

Also forgot to point out when i let off the throttle it goes away

Your flexplate might be cracked or it could be piston slap.

make sure u dont have a spark plug wire acrcing., when its dark out, look for arcing.. also could be a sticky lifter, a little marvel mystery oil will usually take care of it.
let us know what you find..

im pretty sure its the flex plate or maybe the starter gear i thought it was piston slap for a while but i onky hear it on start up and above 1500 rpm and listening to my engine it sounds perfect and i can go under my truck and hear it right inbetween my torque converter and my engine

i havent checked for arcing i just put new coil and rotor plug wires and plugs in it i will try that and i ran seafoam in my engine and mmo but no luck even put royal purple oil in it but nothings changed im pretty sure its my flex plate
