i know its a lifter, i put some 100 octane in it a few weeks ago, ran it up to 120mph a few times. is it posable that the 100 cleared out the carbon buildup, coupled with bran new synthetic oil is making the lifters tick. its coming from the passenger side. the engine just started doing it out of nowhere.
