Hmmm.Yeah that was one of my first thoughts aswell, its a mechanic right now, he informed me that he pulled the belt off and the noise is still there. The strange thing is the clicking, popping noise does not change with motor rpm.
This means that your oil changes occurred somewhere near every 10,000 miles?"I change oil as the change oil warning comes up."
Doesnt seem like its that longThis means that your oil changes occurred somewhere near every 10,000 miles?

2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33 gallon fuel tank, factory dual exhaust, 18” wheels. Build date: 03 June 2018. Now at: 065330 miles.
He put new new lifters and a cam in. He did not change the springs, but i mentioned to him, that the valve springs being broke was mentioned on the forum, he said they all looked fine. He ran the motor with the belt off before he tore the motor down just to make sure it wasnt any pulleys or bearings and it still made the noise. Were just looking for any leads before he takes the lifters back out to inspect since they are new.That damage is needle bearings, it is about maybe 10% of the lifter issues. The problem is not knowing why the needle bearing failed. It could be that you have restriction in one lifter bore and that made needle bearing fail. I'd look at all lifter bodies and look for scuffing. it would be nice if they marked them, probably too late. do you know which cylinder was effected? Did he change valve springs?
No i never got a code or any check engine lights. Im not sure if he does or not. I did see the cam laat week after he pulled it out. Im not sure which lifters. He said they were oem. Yeah i hear ya on the tick but man this doesnt sound like a tick lol. Least to me it doesnt. I had the exhaust tick and this way worse. To me it sounds like metal tapping, almost the tone of a water drop falling in water lol. It just baffles me that the (tick) doesnt get faster or louder as the engine revs up. I know a little bit but im no mechanic. What in the engine moves, but doesnt speed up with rpm?If there are no codes, sadly this is very common to still have tick after cam/lifter swap. In this case, and mind you I have probably listened to 100 of these, my recommendations were different then others. So answer me this, did you ever throw a code I forget the specifics and didnt catch it quickly when I looked.
do you still have old lifters and cam?
I hope he used the 2016 oem lifters?
