Re: Noisy Lifters????

Is the ticking sound persistent even after sufficient engine warmup? Does it disappear at all? Hard to say but the Vin "J" 3100 engines have been known to suffer from piston slap which may sound similar. Big difference compared to the Vin "M" 3100. I had a '96 Lumina Sedan with the 3100 Vin "M" and I recall the engine was quiet even with over 80K miles.

What rocker arm torquing procedure did you use after doing the LIM job?
