I have a Summit cam and lifters in a fresh 440 and I haven't taken the intake off yet, but I have some serious lifter noise and then it goes away. I'm wonder how hard it is to see if I can fix the lifters.

Regular hydraulic cam.....and if the lifters are wearing correctly with the lobe then I really don't want to change them out if I don't have too.

But it's noisy enough that it is embarrassing.

I haven't every taken lifters apart so I'm interested in knowing what to look for to see if I can fix them.

Thanks in advance.
