sound ss like mr goodwrench dosnt know what hes talking about to me, or thinks because your a girl you wouldnt understand! lifter float is when the lifter jumps off the cam due to a steep ramp speed on the cam, pro stock guys use it to there advantage if they are only alowed .500 lift on there cam. they make the lifter catch air gettting more lift at high rpm. But that isnt something that would happen with your car, and it is making the nois at all rpm wich dosnt indicate lifter float. a lifter could be colapsed but that dosnt happen to often. if the noise gets loud id get it fixed but hopefully its nothing that will cost lots of money!
