Hi Guy,

I'll be "cruel to kind" as they say.

No doubt the engine was misfiring with one rocker not operating, and it must have had some form of noise internally.

Who built the engine last? What did the cam look like if you didn't replace it when your last lifter failed?

Now you have to rebuild the engine again.

The lifter bores will be need resizing/sleeving.

NEW camshaft, NEW lifters, and the rest of the bottom end recondition as necessary.

Solid roller cam needs to have lash adjusted correctly.
