possible lifter noise?

Guest

i just got this pantera last week, and i have an audio clip of the engine revving. methinks it's a possible lifter (driver's side). i was thinking the other option might be a header gasket.

i throw this out to the community for opinions, if only because i'm brand new to this car, and my ear has not diagnosed this stuff in 20 years (since the ol' high school/college days).

any help would be much appreciated. thank you in advance. it's great to finally get my dream car and join ya'll. this (problem) is not a nuisance. it is my hobby.

p.s. history of the engine is balanced/blueprinted, but most of the work looks like it was done 15+ years ago. receipts, although present, don't reflect mileage.
