i used this same exact oil last time i changed it without a problem. but yes it did start acting weird after i changed the oil. but at first it was only having the ticking on startup. it has about 135K on the truck and the previous owner said 12k more on the motor then the truck (147K). i actually adjusted the valves last night.

i got some extra 3/8 fuel line ill try that.

i figure if a lifter is bad i should replace all of them, but if im replacing all the lifters i might as well replace the cam right
