I swaped my old motor so before I installed my spare (120k miles on the spare) I decided to change all the seals and gaskets. I also changed the main bearings and took everything apart to clean it out well. I took each lifter apart and made sure to put everything back in it's original locations.
I'm still working out a couple bugs but one thing I wasn't expecting was an intermittent ticking sound that seems like the sound of lifters. I remember having this same sound the odd time on my old engine but I attributed it to sticking lifters and it went away after an engine flush. This time I know the lifters are nice and clean. So far it will do it for a couple minutes...then go away....then come back at not specific time.
Any ideas on what could be the issue?
Thanks
By the way, this was my first time taking apart an engine so I'm not really familiar with trouble shooting methods. I did keep everything very clean, torqued everything to spec, and used oil and assembly grease when reassembling everything.
