lifter noise????what the deuce????
OK i am haveing lifter noise when cold goes away when warm execept when at WOT. I hear a chatter and i got the flutter on my gauge at idle. My pressure was 30 at ildeand 50 WOT, and from what i searched i settled on it being the o ring well 4 days a busted nose and nuckles later the only thing that changend was my pressure : it did get better oil pressure:35-40 idle 70 WOT I STILL GOT THE CHATTER i still got the flutter
the install went good just took so long b/c the nut and bolt shop around hear is closed on sat didnt know (ls1howto said you can use the old bolt to press the crank pully WRONG)theold o ring did look like a 2 year old condem hard and flat so i dont think i did all that for nothing (atleast im gonna keep telling myself that)
well all and all im thinking its really is just the lifters does every one think im in the right direction in not a fan of fix in a can but what lifters and were
the dealership wants to stick a nine foot pole with no lube up my bum soooo not gonna go that way any ideas suggestions welcome

I would definitely avoid putting any kind of additive in your oil. Considering the point that Lucas Oil Additive has a certain amount of detergents present in it and you or Lucas does not know what types of detergents are already in the oil you are currently running. Unless of course you have already researched this and know that it is safe to do so.

pull valve covers, check push rods/rocker arms, retorque everything. try a a heavier oil (10w30/15w30/20w50, etc) if those turn up nothing. my tick at idle, WOT, all over, turned out to be lifter noise, except it was a lifter failure that tore up my cam, cam bearings, and the mains look bad

pull the intake and the valve covers man take a look at that cam when mine was making lifter noise every single lifter had scrapped every single lobe. its not much work to pull the intake and will give you a piece of mind just to take a look at the cam
