My buddy bought one of those Ford 1super ton King Ranch super duty pickups Brand new. $55k 6 months later he couldn't afford the payments anymore. I knew that was coming. Lol!

Yep, that's a lotta green for the new trucks. Too rich for my blood...

You have no secondaries right? blades removed etc? Mine did this before the blades broke apart and hit the pistons


Another option according to Lee since your on a budget on a hi miler anyway

Correct, no secondaries. I thought at first that this noise was coming from one of the accessories, but I don't think that's the case now.

Thanks for the reminder on that option for lifters- however, I'd suspect that a lifter that is collapsed or otherwise damaged in a way other than wear on the surface that contacts the cam lobes, it's better to just replace it.

Hmm, looks like they offer true rebuilding services, not just refinishing the surface. Good to know.

Concur I would just buy Thier cores already done

Any pieces missing out of the balancer? this will cause a knocking as well is the motor shaking as well? Or just noise under the plenum or cam covers. Can you post up a video ?

I haven't noticed any pieces missing from the balancer - I will inspect tomorrow to be sure. The motor is pretty smooth overall, but at times does have a little shake to it.

just a thought ,but do a fuel pressure test and see if it holds. i know you put in new ones but sometimes they do go bad or leak .

Default Re: Risk of ignoring lifter noise?

I have a question did the noise start after you installed new injectors.
Another question did you buy the injectors from FIC?
You say it varies with temps?

I like to start from cheap to expensive.

I would check spark plugs new or not,i had a brand new spark plug drove me nuts trying to find the noise.
Check coils,wires.

Then move to lifters.
If you know which bank the lifter noise is on i would change all the lifters with new lifters on that bank price is not so bad $15-$20 each X 16 lifters,what i would do in your position is pin the cams like the FSM or post when you get that far and we'll help.
Not such a bad job just go slow and take your time,just make sure it's lifters.
