RE: lifter noise

I'm not sure if it's quieter. I'll have to check and repost.

RE: lifter noise

Try engine flush.That will get some on the carbon off the lifters and may free them up.

RE: lifter noise

but how do I repair the problem. I don't want to make it worse by just using a think a$$ oil. My question is can I adjust the lifters, would that be that best bet to fixing the problem.
