    5.0 engine ticking question

    how long did you drive with a collapsed lifter? If a long time then your cam lobe for that one can be ground down badly making the valve only open half way or worse Push rods will be fine, can you post a pic of the collapsed lifter? Personally ide want to see the cam lobe to look for damage
