Tired of noisy lifters already... Any suggestions.?mabey a solid lifter swap?

I would install new lifters before I went to the time and expense of a complete valve train swap. To do it right, you really need to swap everything

it has all new lifters and they got primed properly... Mabey the modded cam has created the tick... Idk what else it could b...?

Was it ticking before the cam grind/swap? Or did it have it when you got it?

it did have a slight tick before the rebuild I'd say it's no worse than before but was hoping that it was a bad lifter but they've all been replaced now wondering if it could be a ring moving on a piston?it has a hundred and seventy five psi on all cylinders. it also has a slight leak where the header meets the downpipe I'm going in Friday for a full custom exhaust system maybe that will quiet it down?

I installed a rotary motor, no valve tick since, but that is a little extreme.

Try this. Buy a bottle of Seafoam. Change the oil to Shell Rotella T 10w-40.Pour half the bottle of Seafoam in the oil,1/4 in the gas tank.Save the other 1/4. Drive the truck 500 miles,change the oil again and put the other 1/4 in the oil.Bet ur lifter ticking will stop.bj
