So I just can't get my Hydraulic Lifter issue under control. The rebuilt ( NOT! ) engine I bought had used lifters in it, they would start out nice and quiet and then start to tick when warmed up. So I bought a complete set of new lifters,installed and adjusted. They start out noisy and after 10min of driving they quiet down and will stay quiet. This is everytime I cold start the engine, when restarting after warmed up they stay quiet, but after sitting overnight, BAM, noisy. I'm using a straight 30wt, an old timer says that's my problem, " oils to thick, need a multiweight in there ". Is this true? Could this be my issue?? I would LOVE to remove these hydraulic lifters and pushrods and install a solid lifter/pushrod setup, but I know I can't, I'm stuck with what I bought :mad:
