Alright.... I've noticed a tick that I get after driving the car really hard.

The first time I noticed it was at the track. The car sounded fine when I got to the track, but after my second run, I really noticed the tick. I didn't run the car anymore that night.

After a few days of regular driving the following week, the sounded fine.. no more tick..

Am I hearing a lifter thats on its way out. The tick is very faint now.

The car has hardened pushrods, so I know they aren't bent. All the other mods are in my sig..

 

its all in your head and your hearing is playing with you Mike.my guess is all that vlv. train noise when you did the upgrades.I know mine after I installed the h/c the dreaded piston slap went away.you still on the island?

 

Yea.. I'm still on island...

I'm wondering if its a lifter on it's way out. I'm gonna have to pull the heads to repair some stuff. Just wondering if I should change lifters also.
