Default LT1 Misfire

1996 z28

A week or two ago I got a flashing SES light, got the scanner said "random/multiple cylinder misfire" I knew that much was hoping it would tell me more than that. I erased the code, car ran fine until the other day when I got the flashing SES light again, only now there is a clicking noise coming from inside the block, it is proportionate to the RPMs. I am a thinking pushrod is hanging up. Any ideas?

Does the LT1 have hydraulic or solid pushrods?

The clicking could be due to a bad lifter or loose rocker, if you are sure that it is coming from inside the engine. However, it could also be a bad plug wire arching.

I got her to work fine now, I changed the cap and rotor, the wires, the coil, pulled the bosch platinum plugs and put in ac rapidfires. Seems to be working.
