it dont matter if you put 1qt of oil or 5 qts of oil, if your oil pickup is not feeding the engine properly, its gonna keep ticking.

it could be what every one else said in here also, you need to shime it.

but theres alot of possibilites, im just giving you from MY experience and what could be an easy fix.

check for metal shavings on to bottom of your oil pan, if you get that, then most likely your engine is not gettin sufficient oil throughout the whole motor, in this case atleast.

but GL man.

well to be honest.i dont know...i bough the car with the motor in....and i didnt channge anything at all....and i believe it does have aftermarket lifter..cause the noise is coming from the back of motor and near the notch back area....what are the consequences of rolling around with bad lifter or something...cause i serious dont have money right now..and i dont push my car alot..never seen a drift and drag race before
