OK yesterday i took on water The rig starts but has a load tap,,pulled the valve cover this morning,,,all the rockers look good,,, all push rods spin true in the hole,,Here's my question,,do you think its just a collapsed lifter??? or maybe a bent valve??? My thinking is i just buy a new head,,, lifters,,,push rods,,and roller rockers and be done with it and have all new parts on hand when i do pull it apart. Let me here all advise and thoughts

my first jeep ( the green 98) had about 113K miles when I got it. I had the head done by a race shop and could not believe the difference. It ran much cleaner and so much smoother I could not believe it. Since your engine also has some miles, I think you have to strongly consider the head job while you have it all apart. (not that there may not be other problems)

sounds like my old problem, taps under load, quiet under deceleration.....that, my friend is a wrist pin gone bad...(does it sound like a fluttering bird?)....drowning a motor will do that......that's my thoughts...as for advice?... since it's Shark Week, just this....stay out of the water.
