Replaced lifters and still ticking
I replaced the lifters in my wifes Denali, and the tick is still there. I used new ls7 lifters, had them soak in oil overnight, followed directions to a tee... Could I have gotten a bad lifter or some other problem?

Didn't really inspect the rockers but they all had the same amount of movement.
Some of old lifters had slight cupping where the tick was.
Sounds like a tick and not a leak, gets a little quieter when warmed up. Don't see or feel any leaks.
No i do not have a scope

I have an exhaust leak when its cold that sounds like a lifter, but once it warms up it goes away, its at the y-pipe seal... Truck has had it, i will fix it and it comes right back.... Hell ive even replaced the exhaust and still had it... Engine mounts are the next victim, along with a set of longtubes.... Going to eliminate the issue all together and be done with it...
