Tapping lifter
I've got what sounds like a tapping lifter. Is there any oil treatment to take care of it? Or, do I need to replace my lifters?
If the solution is replacing lifters, how hard is that and is there any other parts that have to be changed (cam, etc.)?
Thanks in advance.

RE: Tapping lifter
Probably time to replace them. Evo lifters are well known for lasting only about 30K miles. I replaced mine at 3K, and one was pretty bad. The roller axle was half way work, about 1/8" of slop. Destroyed the lifter block, too.
I replaced mine with S&S parts: lifters, blocks, pushrods.
Replacement is easy. Buy two alingment tools/pins, not just one. You'll need both of them. Soak the lifters in motor oil for a while before installing them. I coated mine with moly assembly lube for the install.
You can continue to use the stock push rods. But I installed S&S adjustable ones instead. Do a search here for adjustment procedures.
It's a pretty simple job. Time consuming, but simple.
