2015 chevy silverado 1500 LT 5.3, 6 speed. Leveled 2.5 on 305s 97k miles Recently started to get a lifter tick noise, took it upon myself to pop the valve covers off and see if any rocker arms have any play(none have any play). Fried it up with valve covers off all valvetrain works and looks really good. Truck runs great, no check engine light, no misfires, idles amazing. My only idea now is to pull the rocker arms from the passenger side and inspect the push rods. That's the side I'm hearing the tick. Gonna buy a couple just to have in case I'm right. Any insight or should I just keep driving till I get a check engine light? Lol

Has anyone installed a water/methanol inject kit on any of the small blocks (2014-2018)? I personally have the LV3 4.3L V6. Looking to eliminate the carbon build up, caused by direct injection, on the intake valves. Right now I'm trusting that Sea Foam is doing the job every 30k miles. EDIT* I'm also interested in the increased performance after tuning. I am aware that a catch can would eliminate the majority of carbon build up on the valves.
