The ticking is coming from the back of the Passenger side head. also now when i go to shift sometimes it will backfire out of the exhaust, but I cant tell if its a Collapsed Lifter or exhauts leak. Oil Pressure is fine and everything on the engine is only 3yrs old with about 10k miles. would a compression test tell me if i got a bad lifter? or are there other ways to check for a collapsed lifter?<br /><br />66' coupe, 351W stock w/Roller rocker arms, edelbrock intake, and 650cfm holley street avenger<br /> <br /> <small>[ July 13, 2007, 01:13 PM: Message edited by: Stang A Lang ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>The_MuffinMan25</b> <br /><small>Member # 6235</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,6,13,13,14,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Only thing I'd say is take off the valve cover and look.
