I DID bleed the lifters timzcat!

Just wondering how long it took for others for the noise to go away...it seemed a bit long on my car. When I started the, car the tapping noise was there...let it idle for a good 7-8 minutes...no change. revved it a bit to 2500-3k or so and it went down some. drove .5 mile down the street, made no difference.

After that I drove about 2.5 miles to a gas station and it seemed to have completely gone away by then (prob. a good 15-20 mins of the motor running).

Is that normal/OK?? I was concerned that it took too long for the tapping to go away, and that perhaps I did some damage?

 

Sounds normal based on my experience. It takes a bit for it to go away entirely.

 

sounds like lifter tick to me

 

youre kidding..

 

Gee, thanks for the tip Einstein

 

well tough to say but i know, it WONT GO AWAY

 

wtf are you talking about...mine DID go away. I was just wondering what was the the typical time period for it to go away post bleeding.

 

yeah... lifters will be louder than the stocks.

 

omfg, can no one on this site read?

Thanks 992gnt, you're the only one that seems to have mastered reading comprehension!

 

NO offense bro but you need to chill down.
You're bashing or calling people name. NOt a good way to get positive response

 

I am not getting worked up...I'm just frustrated that post after post is a reply not regarding the question I asked. I stated my question very clearly

 

This thread is cracking me up. "lifters will be louder than the stocks" WTF does that even mean? Anyway, I put cams in 3 weeks ago and the ticking went away in about the time yours did. I did a head gasket over the weekend and had to lap in a couple of valves while it was apart and the ticking was about the same again, went away after about 10 minutes or so.

 

did u bleed the lifters??? or no???

 

Who me? Of course I bled the lifters, as did the original poster. I don't have a problem with ticking and neither does he. The question was how long did it take for the ticking to go away, that's all.

 

took me a while to understand it...i think he meant that the lifters will tick louder with higher lift/duration cams than they would with stock cams. Again, not what I was asking.
