I have done some more reading on the 235 hydraulic lifters. A common issue is that air gets sucked up by the oil pump and gets into the lifters. I do have a problem with a lifter making noise. The noise comes a goes. The engine has sat most of the last 25 years so I figured a lifter was sticking and just starting to drive it would get things freed up. I am now thinking that the issue is air and maybe something is wrong with the oil pickup tube. The oil pump in this engine is not submerged in the oil but uses a suction tube. I read that the connection between the tube and the pump can draw in air. I am wondering if the pump got air bound and lost its prime. I am just getting this truck back on the road after a five year frame off restoration. It almost has to be something with the oil pump. I guess if this is my biggest issue to get fixed than it is not too bad. The engine is not original to the truck. The truck is actually a 1947 International KB1. I bought the truck without an engine and it was easier and cheaper to swap the drive train over to Chevy than find and rebuild an International Engine. Plus I love both Chevy and International so now I have a Bow Tie Binder.

The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
