I phuckin floated a lifter about 5-6 months ago and have been changing the oil in this phukin thing about every 3-4 weeks- viscosity increases, lifter floats. If I change the oil the lifter will operate normally for around 1000 miles.
Phuk this shit...
So naturally I want roller lifters-ah shit, now I've gotta change the cam-oh damn, now I gotta mass air it- motherfucker, while I'm in there might as well install roller-rockers. See where I'm goin w/this?????
Any suggestions? If it were your truck, what would u do???????????

W/o the benefit of a good shop manual, it appears I've gotta pull the upper intake to remove the passenger-side valve cover . Fuckin GT-40 intake . Anyway I figure I'll do that and then crank, I mean torque, the fulcrum bolts to see if that helps.
I like turbofans more .

I limped to a shop owned by a friend-of-a-friend; knockin all the way.
When I got there he told me it was detonation. Other "mechanics" told me it was lifter knock. He pulled the dipstick; Mobil 1 with 1300 miles on it was burnt, black. He told me it may be a cam bearing, oil pump, but it was too loud for lifter knock. In other words I've gotta engine w/50,000 miles on it and it's worthless.
