I'm not typing this post so I can rehash how horrible I got burned the day I bought my GMC and hours later it blew up, and how got burned out of $14,000 from a rip off mechanic shop in the southern CA desert who "fixed" it. Those days are past me and time to move on. The reason Im saying this is Im sure I may get responses that state I should contact them however I'd rather drive my gmc off the GW Bridge before that will ever happen again....I can tell everyone here where to avoid in southern CA! But when I bought my GMC I didn't know what I was buying, new nothing about the forum or sponsors and things are looking much, much better these days.
Anyway this shop "rebuilt" my 455 engine. However since day #1 after the rebuild it has what a few close yet very mechanical friends call a noisy lifter. Sometimes its louder then other days, sometimes I can't hear it all all. Engine drives strong. Everyone that hears it says "its running good"
I only have about 1,000 miles on the new engine. Before it broke in it ran no where near as well I say, however on a trip from the mountains coming back it seemed like broke in and has run strong to this day.
Is a lifter something to worry about?
