[Gmecm] Getting rid of False Knock?

[Cornel Hacke]

Hi Brian
Do you have any more info on the ISKY Rev caps or a link to to the parts you
are talking about?
Thanks
 Cornel

I would look into Isky Rev Caps - as these will
preload the Roller Rockers - taking up the slop.
 
It will also keep everything from the Roller Rockers
on down to the lobe - in contact with each other -
by removing the  'tossed time' that the lifter
spends while the valve spring is trying to
push everything back together and close
the valve at the same time.

I installed gold race 1.6:1 RR on my LT1 last yearand the exact
same thing happened to me. {40,000} knocks in no time at all.
Typically around 1700rpm on light acceleration . The problem is
still there and I have reset the lash 4 times using every
conceivable method and still no avail! I had also installed SLP
headers at the same time. I can hear the RR or lifters when
the engine is running! I had also changed the valve springs
(stiffer) to accommodate a larger cam in the future. My only
questions left are : what is the correct lash for stock lifters 0lash
+3/4? and can a stiffer valve spring be used with the stock lifters
or will they collapse creating noise?, and how to get rid of the
knock knocks? PS.I'm using the stock cam.
Suggestions greatly appreciated!
Cornel

Hi Mike
My 2 cents...
 
1. Make sure you are using shielded wire for the KS(shieldind grounded at
ECM end
only)
2. Make sure you route the KS wiring as far away from spark plugs and wires
as
possible
3. DO NOT over-torque the sensor (this an distort the peizio device and skew
it's
sensitivity)
4. Do you if have the correct KS for your application? Different part
numbers have
different resonant frequencies to which they are sensitive to.
5. Fix the collapsed piston! lol j/k- vbg

Does anyone know how to fix false knock? i.e. different sensor, moving it,
ect... I'm
trying to tune my LT1 but it's got a rediculous amount of knock counts and
it's really
messing with my timming... Not sure what to do about it... Thanks for any
help...
 
Mike
