Jerry, I can’t actually say. They came with the truck and were new when the PO had the engine rebuilt by a shoddy machine shop. I have the receipts from the PO. He had nothing but problems after he had the engine rebuilt. The odometer says 00150 and I believe the PO put it in, so I don’t believe there are many miles on the lifters. Today it took almost 15 minutes before they quieted down today.
I did the tech tip on the push rods last year and it didn’t help.
