So.... I just got my girlfriends engine timed up and after I turned the engine 6 times I hear this weird ticking noise. So I track it down and it is this one lifter making the noise intermittently. If I let the engine sit for a few minutes it stops. If I poke it every few seconds, it clicks. You can feel it if you have your finger on it when it ticks
I did bleed all the lifters down before installing them, so could it just be pressure building up or something? The engine was rebuilt and I primed it before installing the belt. They are the stock lifters (I know I know, I should have spent the extra money and got revised ones but did not).
Attached is a video of this noise. If anyone could tell me why its doing that, I would appreciate it. I just don't want it to end up being a bad lifter.
