Vehicle 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 5.3 Title Squeak From Engine, Replaced Rocker Arm Complaint Squeak or rubbing noise from right side cylinder head valve train area, only with engine at operating temperature.. Cause Bad roller bearing in rocker arm. Detection You can pull the valve cover then plug the coils back in and run the engine, use a hammer handle and push hard on the push rod side of rocker and listen for noise change. You can also back the rocker bolt out a turn or two and SLOWLY tighten back down, noise will get louder when tightening if the roller on lifter and/or cam is bad. I’ve got a pickup load of bad cams from these same symptoms. Correction Replaced rocker arm, ran engine and squeaking noise is gone.
