A little more info on this noise might help narrow it down.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

At the top of the page go to My Home. Then look for Personal information, email, password, etc. At the far right is edit. Click on it and at the bottom of the next page you can allow PMs. When you get a PM there will be a small letter icon flashing at the top where it says Welcome speedfreak

I'm in Edwardsville.

press straight down on the rocker arms (pushrod end) with it idling with the end of a hammer with a wooden handle & this will alter/somewhat quiet a bad lifter to help you id a bad one
