Sage List: I'm in need of advice and suggestions (again).
One or two of the lifters in my 4kq are driving me nuts. I've tried the engine
flush and changes, trans fluid, even prayed to the lifter Gods under a full
moon, but nothing keeps these things quiet. Actually, they are quiet most of
the time, then when they feel like making noise, they do. Happens when warm or
cold, doesn't matter. The oil pressure has been verified to be good. There
seems to be one primary offender, but occasionally two, that make the noise,
but I'm at the point where I just wanna replace them all and get the thing to
stop ticking. Is there some other elixer that I haven't tried that others have
had luck with?
How much of a job is this? Special tools required? What's the best way to prep
the new lifters? Who sells the lifters (guess I better ask that too)? Any
BTDT's would be greatly appreciated.
