Granada engine noise
I have been on here before explaining that my 79 granada 6 cyl engine has what sounds like l;ifter chatter when i start it..Engine was redone with all new lifters and is perfect except for this noise...It lasts for 4 or 5 minutes and goes away...I took tappet pan cover of and find that two lifters have drained down with no pressure on them so i ask is this maybe normal or bad lifters..Any help on this matter really appreciated as i have added zinc changed to a ford filter to no avail .I know it is not crank bearings..so???

You may have a better chance of a reply on the late v8 forum.

Re: Granada engine noise
Do you have good oil pressure?
There were companies like Rhoads that made lifters that bleed down quickly for some high performance applications. I don't know if that's what was installed but they are noisy. |

Pick up a jug Walmart's 0W-20 full synthetic. It'll flow well & pump up lifters quickly in a cold start. |
