lifters
so i have been told that its EXTREMELY common to have a small lifter tick with a 350. i was told by 2 engine guys that its fine and just run it and beat the **** out of it. so my question is what do u guys think? just run it, take the valve covers off n tighten em up a quarter turn, or change lifters?
btw, only 200 miles on the motor since rebuild.

Re: lifters
SBC lifter tick it is NOT common unless the valve lash is incorrect, something is worn or valve train geometry is off.
I don't really think even solid lifter cams are particularly "ticky" either.
