I see what you mean and I had (EDIT: had NOT...) thought of looking at it from a "cant bleed down" perspective. The most I can do at this point is just replace it and throw it back together. Odd question: Does the tick happen when the valve closes (when there is very little load on the lifter) or when the valve opens?Quote:
