Engine lifters, also known as hydraulic lifters or tappets, are components in an engine's valvetrain that help control the opening and closing of the engine's valves. They maintain zero valve clearance by adjusting automatically to variations in temperature and wear, ensuring smooth operation and optimal performance. Typically cylindrical in shape, lifters can be made from metal and often have a hollow center filled with hydraulic fluid to facilitate their function. They are usually located in the engine block or cylinder head, depending on the engine design.

You have a 2000 Malibu with a 3.1 The lifters have been replaced but there is still a ticking from the engine any suggestions?
a lot of 3.1 engines do this, if it is not severe then it should be ok...
Lifter noise in 3 liter Chrysler engine?
These engines would tick if they were low on oil. Try changing the oil and filter and rechecking it. But these engines were also good for having lifters go bad. If the oil change doesn't work, and providing the engine is in good mechanical condition (no sludge build up, etc...) put some lifters in and you should be good to go.
