Bitchin' Stitchin'
On mine, it was a trunion failure, & just that one lifter. It was noisy on start up, then the sound would fade as the engine got warmer, but never really went away.
The truck had also sat for a number of years before I bought it, although the P.O. started it once a week, drove it around the underground parking lot where he had kept it once a month & had had the oil changed every 6 months (@ the dealership!) while it sat, even with that minimum mileage. It only had 108,000 km's when I bought it in 2011. About 67,000 miles. The lifter failed @ about 120,000 km's.
