Got an audible tick during runup today, that sounded like a collapsed lifter.

Went back to the hangar. Tracked it down to #1 cylinder. When the exhaust valve is starting to close, there is a definite hitch in the retraction of the pushrod. You can put thumb pressure on the top of the rocker arm, and feel the chunkiness in the lobe.

Anyone have or know of a running O360A1A mid time engine for sale?
