Re: hydraulic stuff----What I don't know about collapsed lifters would fill a swimming pool, but generally bad lifters are evident immediately upon start-up, and the noise subsides when the oil pressure increases enough to make them do their job. I'd suggest you take a stethescope to the engine to truly isolate the problem. In lieu of an auto stethescope, I use a long shanked screw driver-- pressing it against various parts of the engine to isolate the problem. Press your ear against the handle and listen closely. Be sure not to get your hair or the tool itself wound up in the pullies or any other moving parts. Let us know where the noise is coming from.
