How do you fix a sticking lifter on a Chevy 350 engine?
Often a sticking lifter is cause by sludge that has built up inside the lifter. If that's the case a good engine cleaner can often help, or even just add a quart of diesel fuel or kerosene to the crankcase and let it idle for a while, but if you do that, don't put any stress on the engine. Then change the oil and run it for about 300 miles and change the oil again. That CAN help some sticking lifters... but don't count on it. Often the only option is to change the lifters and if the camshaft is pitted, you may need to change that too. If you're going that far, check everything and do a complete rebuild.

My Nissan 240SX 1990 model is ticking what could be the problem?
Valve lifter could be sticking. Take the valve cover off and start the engine. You can narrow down which one it is. Might Not be sticking and just need adjusting.
87 Chevy S10 28l V6 and one lifter collapsed and warped the pushrod Can you just change that one bad lifter and do you have to take off the intake manifold to get the lifter out please help?
You can change just the one lifter, however you should determine why it went bad. The intake manifold must come off to get to the lifter. Is there advanced mileage? do you change the oil regularly? Seeing how it is an 87 vehicle, with 19 years of use on the engine, I would strongly suggest changing the full set. Be carefull though as there is the possibility on that engine of 2 different size lifter bores. If yours are oversized it will be stamped on the lifter bore (not on the lifter) 0.25mm 0.5 There should also be a white paint mark at the bore.
Why is my 99 grand am engine ticking sometimes?
It is a lifter either sticking or your fuel injectors it is common with these engines... I have a 2001 that ticks at idle and it is a lifter but as soon as I start to accelerate it goes away. It has done this since a year ago when I bought it I wouldn't worry unless it is knocking.

How do you change a valve lifter?
There's a ticking noise under my 2002 tahoe. If it is a lifter. Can you tell me what a lifter is? And is that the reason why my service engine light won't go off. Someone told me that it had to do with some box that holds wires under the truck. Is that true?
1996 Z28 350 makes a chirping noise from engine sound like its from rocker arms or lifter area?
Probably a sticking lifter; put in a can of RISLONE every time you change oil for the next few times; that should do it if it is just a minor problem. A chirping noise can also be a defective drive belt. I haven't heard of a chirping noise before, but I've heard of lifter tapping. If it's just some light lifter tapping, add some Lucas oil stabilizer next oil change. This is really good stuff that adds extra lubricants and protectants to the oil for better engine performance and durability. Adding this to your oil should take out any light lifter noise or tapping. I run this in my 94 Z along with full synthetic Mobil 1. They make the Lucas oil stabilizer in synthetic as well. Hope this helps you out.
How can you tell the difference between a hydraulic lifter and a mechanical lifter on a Chevy 350 engine?
Take a pushrod and push down on the plunger in the lifter. A hydraulic lifter is spring loaded.
The engine is making a ticking noise when the rpm goes above 2000 the noise starts to fade away after a while and is louder when the engine is cold any ideas?
This sounds like a hydraulic valve lifter that is dirty, sticking and is not getting enough oil to lubricate the lifter. After the engine warms up and the oil pressure is stable, the lifter begins to get enough oil and quiets down. Try changing your oil and use a lighter weight oil like 10/W/30. After 2500 miles return to your former vescosity oil.
