Although I haven't put a lot of miles on the TR3 during the last few seasons, I have been driving it with a noisy lifter. I thought the clicking to be caused by what I had remembered to be a loose push rod tip. I removed the rocker arm assembly today and found the push rods to be good, but the clicking could be replicated in one tube by moving the pushrod/lifter combination up and down against the camshaft. The other seven were quiet when tapped against the cam. Previous compression and leak down test were good. The lifter most likely will need to be replaced and the camshaft reground. Question is, do I continue driving it or do I park it until I have the time to fix it?
