Well I replaced some lifters becasue they were ticking. 8 on one side that was bad. Ticking went away for a little bit, but now it's coming back. Not as bad as it was, but enough to **** me off again. So would I have a flat cam? I can't figure this one out. Guess it its time to yank it out and take it back to get a replacement. I hate this project now. [:'(]
