If its a hair under your good....long you give it gas it goes up

 

Is it going up enough? It goes about halfway between 40 60

 

The tick is a lot less severe than yesterday after the seafoam and running the Lucas in it now at idle... If I hold the throttle open it takes longer for it to tick and once it idles it goes away faster... Y'all think I'm on the right track? Now when it ticks it doesn't sound any worse than these trucks do factory when you start them cold...

 

I think you're ok there, I believe that's within spec.

I believe you are. if you were having plugged PR's then like was said earlier, you probably knocked some sludge loose. I'd go though a few more heat cycles of the motor, then change the oil and do the lucas/seafoam again. Same thing, sevaral heat cycles, change it, and then go back to straight oil and see how things go.

 

How many miles you put on since you put seafoam and lucas in?

 

Next time you change. Your. Oil put some seafoam in the crank case it be the the one on the driveside in the rear

 

Correction the tick comes back once I drive it. But goes away after it sits at idle for about 30 seconds... Any ideas what this could be

 

I let it idle about an hour with sea foam in it. Drained the oil and put one quart Lucas and five 5w30 let that idle about 50 minutes when I drove it about five miles and got back to the shop it was a pretty loud tick and that went away after sitting at idle for about 30 seconds... The noise is coming from the same place every time front drivers side. I put new ls7 lifters in. Is it possible one is bad?

 

Maybe one or two are bad...try taken the vcover off and see pushrod is bent or your rock arm losen up

 

I checked the rockers yesterday all were tight... The lifter that had the clogged pushrod felt spongy when I pushed on the push rod. It was to hot to check before I left the shop today tho.
