Not sure how to describe the noise. If its knocking or ticking
I have a 92 Silverado with the 5.7 liter. This motor already burns a lot of oil. Smoke outta the exhaust. Originally when i first got it it has a small tick in it but ever so quiet. Im running about 4 Quarts of castrol 20W50 + 1 Quart of Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer (recommended by mechanic) + 1/2 Quart of No Smoke and Stop leak (additive that i found at walmart). I measure the dip stick and the oil level is good. This tick can be heard when you do a cold start on it and it gets louder as the engine warms up. Im good on coolant. My temp gauge will go up 1 dash above 210 and then lower itself between 100 and 210. Before i switched to 20W50 i was running 10W40 and my oil pressure would go down and up as i drove. Now that i am on 20W50 it stays put beside 60.
