Noises problem
1997 Chevy Silverado V8 Four Wheel Drive 110,00 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
There is a constant valve tap noise when engine running. Oil pump, filter and oil pressure tested ok. Removed the valve covers and found that there is no oil getting to the valves/rockers area. What could prevent oil from getting to valves and rockers. One person suggested the Cam Bearings. Please advise.

could be the cam bearings or it could be time for your oil system to have a flush and a clean.
