Holy crap man... I listened to the vids and that sound was much
freaking louder than any "ticking" lifters I've ever heard. Had bad
lifters in both Christine's original premag V6 engine... and the 2.9L V6
power plant in my old 87 Ranger beater... a motor notorious for lifters
making a racket.
I knew it had to be more than a collapsed or stuck lifter.
Glad ya got er figured out...
