lately my SR has had what sounds like a lifter tick, only on cold start ...sometimes..or after a few laps on track..then it goes away.

so today i took the valve cover off and tried to see if i can notice anything ..well i cant see much but i did notice some ware on the cam shaft on one of the sections.

my question is how can i know for sure what the noise is...and what can i do about it.

im guessing change the hydrolic lifter on that port...?

its such a wierd thing and only happening sometimes but i feel like its becoming more frequent ..but it could be just me.

i just do not like starting my car and hearing a mad clicking for a while..

someone help!!
