Lifter noise

Well got a little more creative and pulled the lifter out the distributor hole. Had to polish the "piston" to get it to move in the lifter bore. Guess what found 2 more lifters in need of the same treatment. So finally I have a lifter noise free engine. Now if I can get the timing curve and carb tuned well I'll have a quiet smooth running engine. Sofar I have noticed a deffinite power increase over the 318 that I replaced.

When I was refering to the "piston" I ment the internal piston in the lifter.
