If a lifter is leaking or clogged it makes a ticking noise. I'm assuming this is from a lack of oil pressure under the lifter plunger and the plunger either bottoms out on the bottom making a "tick" or it comes down a bit and then makes a "tick" when it smacks back up into position...or both. If either of these are true can the valves be fully opening?? Is the lifter shallow enough so that if the plunger is completely compressed in it, the valves will still open slightly?
So, if lifters are ticking is power being lost due to a lack of intake and exhaust flow into the cylinder?
Thanks
