So we had just done a top end on a motor. We pulled all the lifters to check for wear and put all back in the propper holes etc. When we started the engine back up we had a really bad tick on the #2 intake. We saw where the push rod was sitting 1/16th" or so lower than the other near it.
Once we removed the lifter, there was a little carbon that got stuck and was not allowing the lifter to fully extend. We removed the little clip and got the tiny little piece f carbon out and reassembled. The lifter feels good now to the touch, still has a strong spring and is currently soaking inorder to fill it up.
Will it be ok to use? We pulled one each side and they look and feel identicle. That little piece carbon sure rained on my parade this week!!!
It is the same lifter in the same hole etc. Also we only ran the jeep for about 20 minutes trying to find exactly where the nock/tick was....
