!!!!!Lifter!!!!?!?!??! Are you telling me you shut the engine off NOT REALIZING that it was clanking and whanging (maybe) but missing badly on AT LEAST one cylinder????




I had a lifter pop out once on me too. Took the kid to the doc, came out to go home, no pressure. No clanking, no whanging, no missing. Only symptom was no oil pressure.

Replaced the pump, inspected the drive, etc, till I pulled valve cover and saw the culprit.

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.
