Re: C6Z and Oil Starvation

I would be surprised (no shocked) if the tapping in the valvetrain was due to oil starvation given their advanced dry sump setup. I agree with DennyM - I would pull the valve covers and inspect your valvetrain to examine your rockers, springs, etc. Do you hear the tapping every time you start and idle (cold and warm) or only after running a few hard laps at the track? What weight oil are you using? Could also be an exhaust leak - do you have headers installed?
