Default Re: Evaluating 305E engine noise

You did not say how far it missed go0ing down, hopefully it was not too much, so here is my best answer for now. With the push rod out, look down into the head to see if anything has fallen into the lifter push rod socket. Also if the lifter has been pulled up higher in its bore and is just sticking there. If it appears to be just sticking high, put the old push rod back in and tap on it lightly with a hammer to see if the lifter will go back down.
