hotrodrocco -> Lifter noise (11/19/2005 9:57:46 AM)

hey hey
This is probably obvious, but I need a 2nd opinion. I but in a high performance SCCA rally motor in my Scirocco last year. it is a 99 2.0 that has been altered. It works great as a daily driver and runs fine on super unleaded 92 oc. I have only put synthetic oil in it, because I want it to last. I have been building the car for autocross, and it does very well.
my question for all of those are reading this. I just filled the crank case up with 10w30 Amsoil about a month ago, now when I cold start the car after it has sat for more than 8 hours, I am hearing a sticky lifter above the no# 1 cyl.. could this be the oil? The noise dissipates after a few minutes. Also, it seems the no#1 cyl is not firing properly at first. I was thinking that the hyd. lifter has lost its ability to retain oil, so after the motor is shut down, it slowly leaks out.... ??? I dont know. the motor has less than 10k miles.
