Just got my Enduro car running. Oil was dark, no water gas smell or grit on stick. Tank(boat tank in trunk) bone dry(good) so put fresh super and cranked, old qjet has never been off the factory 4x 400. Started right up when got gas. Had same lifter tick Ive noticed many times, but has been sitting for many years. Let warm up and as temp goes up tick disappears as always has. Was thinking cam or lifters might need to be replaced, I have several cams. But once warm she sounds very good. 60psi initially let her run for awhile .. temp a little over 200 in gear idles like kitten at 650rpm, solid 30 psi oil pressure ... sounds very sweet with just glasspacks on straight pipes
Just like at last race
Was alittle low on coolant so will take over with oil change. Bought some German stuff Liqui Moly lifter lube additive for Valvoline 50W change I will do next. Try vs Lucas. 2 PFL1A remote filters in cab so 5-6 qts oil with remote I believe. Factory dipstick to fill line. Really should take off Q and at least clean it put new acc pump and power valve. Same with plugs. I think old Accel.
