Could be a bad lifter right out of the box.


Its crossed my mind. The motor was built and ran on a dyno, the shop says they didn't hear any lifter tapping. The motor then sat for a year in the shop, I turned it over by hand a couple of times a month.

I got to identify adjuster threads so I at least know how much preload is one turn. In the end if it takes me to 1 1/4 turn and I still have problems, I will go for a new set of lifters.

Thx..
