To the UN-Fortunate wmtunate:
I first wanted to believe my problem was lifters. Ended up swapping all out with a set I pulled from a junkyard C900 - - identical parts. But the tick still persisted.
A lifter tick can be told apart from piston slap by an experienced ear. You should ask your indy what's going on, before paying bucks for a swapped-in oil pan.
That shuddering of the engine, with a big drop in RPM, was telltale in my case. As I revved it up.
