Hello all, I have done some reading on here and I’m assuming that the ticking I have is lifter tick, however I just replaced the head gasket, the lifters, and spark plugs and I put all fresh synthetic oil and fresh coolant in it and it still seems to be ticking and the coolant is disappearing.

I’m going to pressure test the system this week but I am concerned if the head could be cracked or the valves are hitting the pistons. Has anybody had this happen or know what it could be?

I also developed a small leak from the radiator drain plug and the overflow bottle after changing the coolant. I plan on replacing those 2 gaskets as well any help is much appreciated.

P.S. Happy Easter weekend
