Ford F-250 Lifters Problem
I have the 352 fe with a 3 speed I have a tap in the left side of the engine I pulled valve covers checked for damage and checked for excessive wear, none noted. I have replaced spark plugs,exhaust manifold gaskets, nothing has taken care of the tap. It taps at all rpm's. i have checked for bent push rods and but not for bent valves. What else besides tearing it down could I check?

TAPPETS!.........I'M SORTA GUESSING THAT YOUR ROCKER ARMS ARE NON-ADJUSTABLE....AND IT HAS TAPPETS, NOT SOLID LIFTERS....AS I DON'T "KNOW" A 252 ENGINE
I CAME TO MY ASSUMPTION BY LOOKING UP THE ROCKERS.....LINK BELOW

IN "DESCRIPTION" OF THE ROCKERS, IT DOES SAY "W/ HYD. LIFTERS"
