What symptoms would a stuck lifter have?
I have a loud new ticking noise coming from the exhaust side of my head which I'm thinking is a lifter. I have 272/272 cams in the car and they have been there for a while, but when I was driving my car hard a couple days ago, it backfired and shot a cloud of smoke out.
I've now noticed that I have this unusual noise in the head which I'm almost 100% certain to be the infamous lifter ticket that the Evo's can get.
If the lifter is stuck - what would I expect to see? would this cause breaking up under partial boost?
...I ask because I have another thread going on a similar but separate topic. Please see:

Did one last night. Got 167-169-170-170. I'm thinking maybe the lifter is stuck or intermittently sticking closed and that valve may not be opening. I may pull the valve cover today and see..

Collapsed lifters tend to cause some knock, along with a significant loss (very noticeable) in power.

so uh....was this ever figured out. I'm having a loud noise come from what SEEMS to be the top part of the engine. Gonna do compression test after work today.
It would be nice if people reported what fixed their problem :'(
