| Lifter noise 428 scj |

O.K. Here it is, I think I figured it out but would like some feedback if possible. I have experianced lifter
tick in my motor after I pull a high rpm run on the street. The car runs strong and idles fine when driving, but after I get up there in rpm's the motor comes out of it with a noticable tick that so far, has gone away. I think a lifter or two may be bad and colapsing at high rpm and then slowly pumping back up under normal driving untill the noise goes away. The first time I noticed it was after the car sat for a few weeks. When I started it I just thought it was noisey from sitting without being ran. It eventually quieted down UNTIL I drove it to work this morning and showed it some RPM's now my noise is back!! I have adjustable rockers and pushrods already and I was suprised at how quiet it ran for an FE. So, what do you guys think?? Bad lifter, if so, what brands do you recommend? I am not sure what brand of cam, lifters, and springs are currently in my car, as I bought the car this way. The only thing I've done is replace the valve spring retainers, because I noticed one was chipped when I installed new valve covers. The retainers were aftermarket, and very lightweight (Magnesium ??) I replaced them all with stock steel retainers. Photos at www.home.earthlink.net/~btoltzmann |
