Motor doesnt sound blown particularly... You would have some very glittery oil if you were ****ting rod bearings.
I would put some stock rockers and pushrods back on it and see what happens.
Here is another vid guys when I erased the codes it idles a lot better with just one code at that time.
Gtx3 - YouTube
Even with my tiny man hands, removing the motor mount bracket was a pain.
hatehatehate.
You sir....need better tools. Give Fred and Barney back their rocks and go buy some good tools.
Put it this way should I bother to open it up if I fix that ticking noise? Because if I really and I mean really have too I will since I have a daily driver for now. But won't have time till about 1-2 months from now to pull it out and such.
Depends on your mechanic skill really.
LIM can be ripped out, fluids drained, new pushrods/lifters/gaskets/fluids/filters can be done in about a few hours.
If you know what you're doing.
If not, plan a day/weekend to mess with it.
Not a pro but when it comes to these engines I have the idea down. On my second engine rebuild as of now and swap as well. Changed all gaskets and fluids and such but never messed with the bottom end such as pistons, rods n crank n such everything else is a go pretty much.
so umm if its gonna get rockers and pushrods why in the hell would you mess with the pan? Unless its leaking of course. Pull the damn heads put stock rockers and pushrods in AFTER measuring bore AND stroke. Why mess with the oil pan again I don't get that at all.
That is if it requires me to take out the engine and if it is leaking and since i have parts for a build i was gonna do if it is possible go XPZ on it .
Another vid i did while i seafomed it.. Found a hole on the rear headers.

Looked like some exhaust might have slipped out at the front header gasket, too. I see what looks like a puff of smoke at 6:46.... or something reflected sunlight into the engine bay. Hard to say. Either way, just buy some new headers. If it's got one hole, it's bound to make another.
You see, the thing about not having x-ray vision...
