I hope it isn't a lifter. I was afraid of that to begin with.

I guess its possible that it was caused from all the slack but it just had me thinking

Well I guess all you can do now is install you new push rods and hope for the best. If you hear any ticking again then you know its time to pull the heads and get some new lifters. Also make sure the roller on the lifter and the cam lobe doesnt look damaged. It doesnt happen as often with these roller cams but you could still be wiping a lobe.

If it's a collapsed lifter you won't get any oil to the top and it will just happen again. Save some time and pull that head off.
Or at least have peace of mind.
The lifters all had oil on top of them when the valve cover was removed.

I sure hope it isn't lifters. IF it is I think I will get a z06 cam lifters and springs. Pulling heads sucks though.
