I got the truck running this morning and noticed something strange.

The tapping noise that I noticed a while back was really loud when I started the truck...she had been sitting for over a week. Then after she was all warmed up the tapping reduced a lot...and almost just became part of the background noise.

Is there any chance I have a bad lifter? The lifters are hydraulic on the 292...so I am wondering if one of them is leaking out while the engine sits...and then fills up after running.

What are the chances of that?
