Bad Lifter OR Motor is f'ed up?
I have been having a ticking sound for some time and thought that I had a bad lifter. I drove the car a little more but didnt beat on it and I just pulled into the driveway and I am hearing a LOUD squeaking sound. At first it sounded like my exhuast had lossened up soo bad that it was shaking and squeeking, but as I popped the hood the sound is definately coming from inside the engine. Is the the sound I would hear for a toasted lifter or is it somthing worse like a spun bearing. Oil pressure is good. Does anyone have a guess what I am in for? I will be tearing the motor down pretty soon. If it is just a toasted lifter what else could it have damaged? Im guessing maybe just the cam but I dont know.

doubt it
Well I know its not the AC pulley because I took that out of the car. Im doubtful that its a pulley at all but I will check that out before I tear into the engine.

oil pressure
My oil pressure while cold is about 60, when idleing warm its about 40, and when under load when warm its about 60. I have had great oil pressure this whole time which makes me believe that its just a lifter.
