Ticking from engine, collapsed lifter?

[Chief Master Sergeant]

I am seeing the same thing and I don't think so. It seems to have lost power, especially on hills. Not getting a good feeling and think I may just start looking for a EFI motor. Ugh![/QUOTE
EFI motors aren't immune to valvetrain issues.

Really? I never knew that! Ha, ha... This motor is just tired anyway, so it gives me a good excuse to find what I want. You crack me up brother!
