Advice please - '63 Electra lifter noise

[NailheadBob]

@Electra63 I'll also check the expansion plug for sure. All the plugs I can see on the engine look good but it definitely makes sense to check that one while the intake manifold is off

 

My expansion plug was rusted/rotted away with black exhaust residue where it was leaking (like a bad exhaust leak)

 

Group #3.265 Plug Expansion, intake manifold core hole   part #1189802 

 

I used Dorman #550-031 Concave expansion plug (2 1/4") O'Reillys auto parts had to order to store took 1 day to get $1.09

 

 

No I have not experienced that, on your description of  your problem

 

Maybe you will see something after you take yours apart for inspection and cleaning.

Thanks for the part # references, Bob. Saves a lot of hunting!

I'll update here with my findings.
