not sure, i don't think so though. i never thought about that because i am under the impression that lifter tick is more constant, something that i could hear all the time.
is there an easy way to tell the difference?
Tick is more constant, but it also has to do with how your oil is acting. I would get HPT hooked up to it asap.
