will, in most cases, be caused by either insufficient
oil supply or improper adjustment.
4. Intermittent Clicking—Probable causes are:
a. A microscopic piece of dirt momentarily caught
between ball seat and check valve ball.
b. In rare cases, the ball itself may be out-of-round
or have a flat spot.
c. Improper adjustment.
In most cases where noise exists in one or more lifters all
lifter units should be removed, disassembled, cleaned in
a solvent, reassembled, and reinstalled in the engine. If
dirt, corrosion, carbon, etc. is shown to exist in one unit,
it more likely exists in all the units, thus it would only be
a matter of time before all lifters caused trouble.
