CGT O2 sensor thanks, now lifter noise

[Arzareth12 at aol.com]

valvoline racing 50w a bottle of motor honey and a mann filter did the trick 
for me......still ticks a little now and then...it's probably  time for a new 
oil pump soon

wound up buying the 3 wire Bosch universal unit (good old #13913) for $35.99

at AutoZone, and spliced the heater wires to the socket on the harness that

is there for the heated sensor on the 4kq's. The idle is much better, and

hopefully the gas mileage will improve. On another note, I've read a few

posts here in the past that some lifter tap from the 5 cyl engines can be

"cured" or at least lessened with the proper oil weight and filter combo. In

the CGT, I have changed the oil twice so far, once w/ 10W30 oil and a

Deutsch filter, and the other with 20W50 oil and a Deutsch filter. Lifter

tap has been about the same after these changes. Although the Deutsch

filters were rated fairly well on the Mopar filter test, I have bought a few

Mann 719/5 filters ("generic" OEM equivalent) for future changes. What

weight of oil are members using in 5 cyl NA applications to minimize lifter

noise? TIA.
