While parked for a month in it's garage, my 455 decided to honor me with a noisy lifter on a quick trip to Branson Saturday (40 miles). I hear it when the engine is under load...when I back off, like after climbing a grade, the noise goes away. I poured a bit of MMO in the oil at the campground hoping it would heal itself. Still there. I sense no loss of power or engine missing. I guess I need to pop the lid and put my stethoscope on the old girl.
