Hey All,
Alright....well its been interesting. After I got my head back from the machinist, it ticked, a new symptom which came from a collapsed lifter for the #1 cylinder.....ok.

.....I bought four new lifters and put two in to fix the problem. Only one lifter was colapsed. I started it up and it purred like a kitten. Took it for a ten minute drive and.....TICK TICK TICK TICK....a second lifter had collapsed. Fine. I had two more so I replaced the pair on the second rocker arm. Again....purrs like a kitten.....took it out on the highway, get back, and TICK TICK TICK TICK AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! three more are now loose. So now I'm gonna grab the remaining 8 lifters to install this week. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY MY CAR NOW EATS LIFTERS????????
