<VV> Lifter noise?

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

Steve,
 
If you found trash in the one lifter, it probably got there  through your 
oil system.  It may be possible that you have similar trash in  other 
lifters.  If so, cleaning them may solve your problem or maybe  not.  If you have 
"trash" floating through your lubrication system, you may  have a bigger 
problem on the horizon.  If you have oil blocked from  reaching bearings, new 
lifters could be the least of your issues.  Solve  the bigger problem at the 
source whatever that may be.
 
Can you describe the trash you found in the  lifter.

I had to lash the valves this weekend  and I had 1 lifter that would not 
lash. I removed that 1 lifter and  disassembled cleaned it up(did find trash 
in it). Reassembled relashed the  valves. Car ran great! Took the car out for 
a spin came out of 1st gear?and  got a real bad tapping noise! what do you 
guys think? Do you think the lifter  collapsed agian? Have a slight miss 
also.Dont' think its a rod??Can you put  new lifters in with a old cam? Not 
sure what to think. Steve  Till
