How to tell if lifters are bad??
No loss in power, just the noise got worse. It sounded like it was coming from the valve covers, so I pulled them and checked the rockers, but it was still there and sounded like it was coming from the heads when the covers were off.
Exhaust sounded the same.

when i did my motor i had 3 bad lifters..one intake valve never opened for the first 1k miles. It still did 150 mph and it didn't sound bad just a little ticking like said above metal hitting. I auto tapped it and had tons of misfires. i ended up pulling both heads and replacing them all. If you can use one of those mechanics stethoscopes to determine where the sound is exactly coming from.
Damn sounds like my lifters might be going bad.... When I changed my oil there was quite a bit of shavings and sometime from the exhaust I can hear a little ticking noise. Would it harm my engine if I keep running it like that....?
