I'm Awesome
I had a slight tick in my motor that would come and go with less than 5k on it...when I did a teardown for power improvements I found that in one of my GM lifters the little spring retainer ring had come partially out of the groove and was sticking out on both ends YIKES - I dont know what kept it together - it would have let go eventually .....upon closer inspection I tried to compress it and it simply wouldnt compress .....I finally got it apart on the bench and sprayed it inside and got it pumping again after reinstaling the spring clip .....after all that I simply threw it in the trash as I didnt think it was worth the risk using it again on a new build as it might fail ...FWIW .
