Ok My 89 ranger 2.9L engine was making a tapping noise, everyone said it sounded like a bad lifter. I pulled the heads and replaced all lifters. Took heads down to machine shop to have cleaned and surfaced, had broken springs so ended up having to rebuilt heads. I have got it all reassembled and it is still making the exact same noise. It is kinda a higher pitch noise changing with engine speed. (i was told if it was something in the lower end it would be a deeper noise) Does anyone know what the probmem could be????
I did put the new lifters in a pan of oil, and used push rods to (pump up) the oil in the lifters before installing, Also I did replace all push rods and readjust all of the lifters
Any help would be greatly appreciated this truck is driving me nuts
