is this normal for hydraulic lifters? some make this click click click noise when i shake em. othera done. they are brand new
That is normal. They have no fluid in them and are not pumped up.
My buddy has a VERY Hot 340 with a BIG Hydraulic Flat Tappet Cam in it. .620 Lift 252ish duration. He does not drive it that often. It will sit 3-4 weeks at a time before he will fire it off sometimes. Man it sounds like the motor is gunna come apart until the Lifters pump back up. This is all normal stuff with Hydraulic Lifters.
