I have a lifter tick? when the engine is cold. It does go away as soon as the engine warms up though. During the time the noise is there,it will go away when I remove the plug wire for that cylinder (number 1) which lead me to believe it was an exhaust leak instead but it doesn't appear to be that either. I did change the lifters on that cylinder as well. Any other suggestions?

Turns out that it was piston slap on #1. I need to replace just that piston so I would like to find an IH piston instead of a jobber incase there is a weight difference. Any idea where I could get one? I live in Canada?

Exactly why the year can matter.
Is this a "stepped" piston? If so it is very different.
Crossing the PN you posted Clevite gives this PN
224-1895
From overview…
Head Type Description:Special Head Contour Design
Note 1: Contoured Head, Not destroked. Iron Top Groove.
This link will open to the Clevite PN info.

Tried crossing all to Perfect Circle,none did,looking by application failed as well.
Found this in a Google search of "216160R11 piston"
