Lifter Tick

I was searcing this topic and ran across this thread! Didnt realize it was that old! Doh!

Anyway, thanks for the input and maybe I'll just hi-jack this thread for a little bit?

I heard good things about SeaFoam and ATF for this issue. Just got back from the store w/ SeaFoam. Never tried it before but thought what the heck. Didnt help. But I did put some down the carb and in the tank, and I will say, my engine does run smoother now. Idle and throttle response seem to be better. I didnt blow alot of carbon out up on re-start, but that was to be expected, my engine didnt have much build up when I tore it down last year. I'd say good product all in all. Just didnt free up my lifter, at least not right away.

I'm going to try 1/2 qt of ATF next. If that doesnt free it up, off come the covers and probably intake for a look-see.

Galactic - I'm using a Fram filter right now! Yikes...I"ll change that out too. I've got a nice new Jobber filter from Hughes for my next oil change, which I"ll do now anyway. Let us know what was in it rattling around!?
