Re: Lifter tick? Or something?

Lifters can tick from getting gummed up with crap. We used to just pull them out and clean them, works real well. I'll find the faq if I get a chance, or I can just explain it.

A can of Seafoam in the oil for 100 miles before an oil change helps as well. The old way to do the same thing was use a quart of ATF, then drain and change oil and filter.
