Hey guys, i was trying to track down a annoying metal ticking. Working on 6.9 with factory ats turbo. Took off driver's side cover and took all rockers off and cleaned up and lightly smoothed any wear on the aluminum bridge. I had new push rods and threw them in and torqued everything back. Started it up and it definitely went away but still slight but huge improvement. Prob have to switch to 7.3 rockers soon. Went over to the passenger side and got the cover off. The rocker closeset to the firewall; took off, which were tight. When I went to put new rod back it, the rod drops to far in, it's like the lifter got stuck. It literally ran perfectly fine after I did the drivers side. U guys think lifter is shot or its just a stuck lifter. Any help would greatly appreciated before I start throwing parts at it.
