Whats that noise coming from my 318?

It's not really a time saver if you gotta do a complete lifter change, specially on an old engine,, but if you just gotta do a few,, and they're fresh,, it's just convenient not dealing with the cooling system empty/fill/purge, new intake gskts, and inevitable oil change, which is a waste if it's got new oil.

Circumstances dictate which way to go.. when I take the rockers off,, I take a few seconds to reach down with a tool and pull all the lifters,, how many stick, and how hard the first stuck one comes out, is when I decide if I'm pulling the manifold..

hope it helps..
