Re: Lifter clacking

The grooves that lock the valve get ate up. Look really close at the valve stem relative to the keeper and you will see the vale stem sinking or the keepers raised like they want to pop out.withba keen eye you can see it without pulling anything apart. Its also possible that the keepers where not fully seated when rebuilt and that will tear them up also. Like outlined there is alot of diagnosis that can be done prior to pulling the intake.
