Mine did too.Quote:

I was told this will go away once they have had time to adjust. But i just want to make sure this inst something i should worry about, or is out of the ordinary.
New lifters usually don't make any noise after 30 minutes of run time. Even with new lifters, you could still get lifter tick if you have bad oil pressure. I would drain your oil and see if there are any metallic flakes in it. Those videos sounded horrible.
After the lifters where put in, it was drove around for a we bit. The the oil was changed and he said it looked fine. But i dont think i am at 30 minutes of drive time yet. I have a few places to go tonight so i will get the time in and see if it goes away.
Keep us posted.
Well i ran all my errands and i stopped hearing the noise. But tomorrow is another day, so i will post more tomorrow.
Started it this morning, it gave a noise for about 3 seconds (faint) and haven't heard it since. I think i am in the clear. Thanks everyone for your support.
