I did a more detailed examination of the lifters. I noticed that lifters that would be closest to the front of the car did not go down as far as the other, i have no idea if its supposed to be this way or not? Does anyone know??
After that i noticed that since they dont go down as far, the bottom of the lifter is gouging the carrier that they sit in...
I may i think i found the culprit making the sound. The problem is that i dont know WHY its doing that. The lifters are VERY firm. The valve and valve spring appear to be in perfect shape. Am i way off base here, or do you think this is the issue?? And what might be causing it?
Any ideas??
