Has anyone ever used a used valley pan? @ $50 for a new one it's a little steep and was thinking of reusing the one I just took off my 6.9 that is setting on the floor and in good shape. My 7.3 has a problem with a loud tick that comes and goes and I have come to the conclusion it is a lifter collapsing. As I have a set of lifters that have only 10K miles on them I was going to replace the ones in my truck with the newer ones and see if it clears up the tick. When the 7.3 is cold, oil thick there is no tick but after warming up the tick will start. I have changed oil brands 3 different times and found with "Rotella T 15-40" I have less to no tick untill temp comes up.
