Ok so my 85' has an odd issue. It has a lifter tick(more of a knock), but there is nothing usual about it. I started off by going through all of the push tubes and rockers to make sure nothing was bent or out of shape. All was good. I had a new set of rockers out of a 7.3 i swapped to because they were like new but that didnt change anything. So this is the odd part. It is completly opposit of any lifter issue i have ever had before, it is completly quiet untill the oil pressure get to it then it starts ticking. The motor it self is very happy and hasnt had any internal problems. Currently has an old non-wategated sidwinder and had no problems pulling 10psi on a cold day. I just recived my new lifters from an 01 PDS and will be swapping them as soon as i get the chance, i just thought id throw it out there and see what ya'll think.
