!!!!!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.



yup.

It's a common problem, and isn't glaringly obvious as far as noise etc...

First hand experience for me here also...
