Lifters?
<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top width="100%">I'm new to the BBF so bear with me. I am very knowledgable with the Windsor series, but this is my first Fuel Injected Big Block Ford . 
Bought the truck a week ago. replaced a bunch of stuff based on some code ciphering.
Anyway, tonight driving down a long steep grade, all of the sudden I start hearing what sounds like an exhaust leak. Pull off at my work parking lot, check it out and it's actually coming from the valve cover area. Sounds like a pumped up lifter, from my experience.
clack, clack, clack.
Turned off the motor, let it sit for a minute, started her back up, made the noise for a second, then faded and was gone. Didn't do it the rest of the way home. Oil Pressure Gauge does read goofy. Low sometimes, High sometimes. Gotta put a REAL gauge on it to see what's going on.
Long story short, does the 460 have an issue with lifter pump up? If so what is a possible fix. Motor has 129,000 on it. It has been pretty much sitting around and not driven much over the last few years the guy told me.
Thanks
