Haven=E2=80=99t read all the posts so probs repeating someone but know that= the lifters can make noise if: 1. The wrong oil is used. 2. The oil level is wrong. 3. The hydraulic lifters need sorting. To bleed the system just get the engine up to operating temperature, then h= old the revs at 3000rpm for 3 mins. Repeat up to 10 times until the ticking= goes. If the Bois persists and you have the correct oil and level, get hel= p ;)
