Lifter tick after shut down.

[Heywodja]

Ok... this is the dealio

I have a lifter tick like the lifters are bleeding down after the engine is shut down just like in this video.

My engine is a SB with hughes engine 3038AL 110deg. 515/535 cam and their lifters.
Good oil pressure on start and throughout the rpm range. I am running a 20w/50 oil.

Rockers are MP heavy duty, stamped rockers with MP pushrods.

Are the lifters failing?

That or metal cooling

Metal cooling.:burnout: MT

It is not metal cooling, I know that sound it is definitely internal, kinda like something under a bind releasing..

 

[jerry6]

lifters would have to be moving to make noise , no ?

 

[Heywodja]

if the lifter plunger was moving it probably would not affect the rocker arm since the preload is so small..just mho
