Well, something WENT and I mean WENT this morning...I was headed to deer hunt at 6 am goin down the highway and it sounded like a dropped a valve almost. Ill call it a full out knock, but I know it wasnt a knock it sounded like that lifter got way out of whack just ticking like crazy...or sumthing was slamming up and down. I started coasting and it stopped....didnt come back either but I turned around and went home. You think that was the lifter makin all that noise? It sounded like there was a penny stuck in one of the cylinders. And latley when i have been starting it, its been very "ticky" until it warms up
