Ok,my cosworth had a noisy lifter 4 past year or so wen cold.when warmed up alittle it was fine,so about a month ago i bought a set off Matt lewis and fired them in. The night i put them in i noticed after a minit or so of starting the car the engine was making a kind of ticking/rattling but once warm was fine. Well its not got any better,wen starting from cold its still doing it,hard to tell if it is a rattle or tickin but as soon as i rev it,just alittle it goes away. Only on idle,only when cold. OoI dont know wether it is related to lifters or sumthn else. Im at the stage im thinkn of firing my old lifters bk in to see wot hapens..... Engine rebuilt 2-3k ago,ground crank,acl bearings,Oil pump frm matt lewis,small ends. Runing 10 60 mobil 1, oil presure seems ok cold is 60ish, warm is around 30-35psi..

Cheers

Remember Cossies have forged pistons and their cold running clearances are larger to allow for expansion as they warm up, hence you get noise from them whilst cold.

True... I can live with it i just didnt want to be doing any damage by continuing to run it. As long as i doesnt get any worse!
