Loud tapping from #2 cylinder
Oil pressure seems down a bit.
At first I would just hear the tapping at idle once in a while. Would go away at higher rpm.
Went to the track today and went 4mph slower and thats when I popped somthing.
Very loud tapping from #2 cylinder. Goes up with the rpm.
Car was also running hot after that. Very hot.
Its not the rockers but I saw there was play in the first rocker. I tightened it down and it was still tapping.
Collapsed lifter??

Thanx.
I have extra lifters so no biggie.
What does a collapsed lifter look like anyways?

I flat spotted a the roller of the lifter doing a tuning run one time, it made a sound like that...and chewed through the came with not that many miles on it...so I wouldn't drive it.

Curious, what happened to the rest of the engine after that happened? Did you just put in a new cam and lifters and kept trucking, or were the engine bearings shot from the metal in the engine?

Re: Loud tapping from #2 cylinder
I'm hoping I didn't ruin the cam but I did have to drive the car for an hour at 2200rpm from the track.
Its an LE2 cam.
If I shined a light down the lifter hole I should be able to tell right?
