    Dreaded lifter tick

    I have a ticking coming from the drivers side of the engine.I was hoping it was the IP or an injector,but I changed both and its still there. Could someone fill me in on "The Dreaded Lifter Ticking" I've heard about? I've got a feeling its going to be expensive. Thanks, Doug

    Question about a stack
