Collapsed Lifter
Well this morning I went out and fired up the old work truck(2000chevy K2500,350 vortec) and what do you know I hears the ever so familiar little ticking sound I heard 2.5 years ago. Two and a half years ago I had a lifter go bad so pulled the valve covers and intake off and put in eight new lfters(only one was bad) so I figured I wouldn't have to replace any of the other down the road, Wrong. I swear if I had the extra money right now I would do a conversion to a Cummnis and be done with it. I used to like the 5.7 vortec, but I am getting over that pretty quick. Sorry for the rant.

Yeah when they went bad the first time it was a good thing, they did because the intake gasket was starting to leak and did not notice till I had pulled the intake off, so that time it could have saved me from sludging my engine up with the old oil and anti freeze mix. Its strange to me why I would have two lifter go bad within 60k on the same engine. Oh well life suck at times.
