Re: diagnosing collapse lifter??

If you can find the LT1 sound library, there is a clip of it.

Also, take the valve cover off on the side you think it is on, and listen more closely for a noisey rocker. If that doesn't work, I went to Osco and bought a super cheap stethoscope and you can put it on the block and listen.

Turns out I have a noisey rocker arm.
