Lifter replacement 97 S-10 4CYL

[ftc_pmt]

I have about 135k miles on it and one lifter sounds like a monkey with a ball peen hammer inside the bock, anyways, when i get around to replacing the lifter and cam will i need to have the block machined where the bad lifter was? The rest of the moter still holds 40-45 psi of oil pressure cold, and around 20 psi when its all warmed up.

any suggestions?

I don't think that any machining will be required.
But you won't know until you pull the lifter.

They usually just collapes, and that's about it.
