if injector tick sounds just like valve tick, then thats a possibility for later. I only bring up the valve issues because it seems to have a very slight chug at idle, and i hear a small click as the engine goes around. I have a 1988 7.3 IDI 94k on the odo. I didn't know I had hydraulic lifters.
I though I had injector tick eariler in the winter when it was cold, I heard a clacking, and though it was my injectors, but I could never be sure. I need to get the whole thing examined and pop-tested. What are my options as far as service/repair?
In the event my valve guides are worn, how much does it cost to repair my heads if thats also causing the chug problem? I'm just worried because I'm going to be getting ready to help a buddy tow a 12,000 lb boat trailer to lake cumberland starting in april.
I'm also PM'ing Type4 from thedieselstop about picking up some new BB code injectors
