Not sure what it is but going to check it again today to see if it's still ticking.

How much does changing the lifts and camshafts usually cost? Hope no more than 2k?
I don't think you would need to replace the camshafts unless they had been starved of oil and the lobes were stuffed. The lifters would probably be a 4 - 6 hour job plus parts, so perhaps somewhere between $1,500 and $2,000 depending on labour rates.
