Gary Lewis Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Hmmmm...now I have a lifter ticking. Can you put new lifters on an old cam? Anyway, I will pull valve cover and make sure the rockers are adjusted properly. I hope I didnt screw something up somehow. Did you pull the lifters? If so, did you make sure they went back on the same lobe? You can't mix and match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Cecil Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 Did you pull the lifters? If so, did you make sure they went back on the same lobe? You can't mix and match. No internals were touched. Do I have to use a new cam with new lifters? I cant just throw in some new lifters with some assembly lube and go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you can use new lifters on an old cam. However you need to make sure the cam isn't bad. But sometimes an exhaust leak can sound like a a ticking lifter.

However, when you give it a little rev and hold it steady, sound like a tick or knock. On Mon, May 27, 2019, 6:36 PM Gary Lewis [via Bullnose Enthusiasts] <redacted_email_address> wrote:   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put an exh system on that open header so you can hear just what is going on. Headers are known to leak all the time and yes it will sound like a bad lifter. BTW stock up on header gaskets you will need them LOL Dave ----Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW stock up on header gaskets you will need them LOL Dave ---- I was working on that tonight. Removed the existing cat, muffler and pipes. I had just cut enough of the exhaust to get the header in. A friend last year has bought a 2.5" x pipe, and the next day his wife totalled the car. Ive had this x pipe sitting in my garage waiting. So, I am running some short pipes from the collector flanges to this x pipe. Then some short glasspacks, 90 deg turns out the side in front of rear tire.

But, perhaps because of my antiquated status, I don't like them any more. Big Blue has them - for a while. But when he has a trailer in tow the bark is quite sharp and everyone turns to look - and not in an admiring way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get annoyed with it, I will change it. But the chevy is stock and quiet as a mouse, I need something to make me fit in out here. Seriously, the guy 2 doors down has about 25 trucks sitting in his yard. Open headers on half of them, mud pulls an 1/8th mile mud pit in his back acreage. Beers and bikinis once a year. MURICA!
