need help!!

On my way home from a local car meet I raced my buddy and then I heard a knock or a tick sound. I just thought it was a exhaust leak or a blown gasket. But im not real sure what do you guys think.

All the guages were normal

 

[phxpoolguy]

Sounds like exhaust leak from what I can hear. Headers?

 

[viperhauler]

Do you have headers? If so, which gaskets?

 

[moparviper]

I have berlanger headers and mopar gaskets

 

[moparviper]

Im gonna pull the valve covers and see if I broke a spring

 

[moparviper]

Anyone knowcif you have to pull the heads to get to the lifters

Anyone knowcif you have to pull the heads to get to the lifters

Yes!!!

 

[moparviper]

Looks like I could have a bad lifter. Will report when I know for sure

 

[VPRPWRD]

That really sucks if that is the case. Good luck!

 

[moparviper]

After going through all the steps my conclusion is it has to be a broke lifter

 

[VPRPWRD]

That really sucks! If you need anything, let us know.

I sure hope you didn't get a rod bearing. These motors are expensive to rebuild.

I hate to hear stuff like this. Hope you find a simple solution, that sounds bad.

 

[moparviper]

Believe me I know its expensive. I just spend a ton on this motor

 

[BigRed460]

You know a valve isn't moving? or how do you know its a lifter?

 

[moparviper]

Well the rockers are all tightened down the same. But I can still pull the push rod out with my hands. So I figure its gotta be the lifter..plus the tick sound sounds like its right under the valve cover

Good luck with repair bud hope it's a relatively easy fix updates and pics if you get a chance

 

[moparviper]

Pulled the heads today and its a collapsed lifter
