The lifters usually do not make noise when they are only collapsed.. They have to come pretty much apart before they make enough noise for an untrained ear to notice.

My Dad is in the Hospital awaiting Surgery.. I'll post more on this next week after he is home recovering.

Yes we probably will be having lifter discussions here for many moons to come.. I continue to find serious issues with the engines, one of which we recently found that blew my mind.. (another piece of plastic!)
