Solution for noisy lifters in 5 banger

[Michael Gough]

Hey everyone
Today my dad and I were playing with the turbo, wiring up a knock light and installing the air fuel ratio guage. When I started it up he said "Wow it's quiet what did you do to it?" I said "Nothing. Yeah I know it's quiet but I have no idea why." Then he realized what it was: When I got the turbo cam, I got the lifters too for 35¢ each from the junkyard. When I got home with the cam and lifters, I put the lifters in Amsoil synthetic ATF and they soaked for a month or two before I got around to installing the cam. So now the nasty ticking is gone and not missed one bit.
Cost: 10 used lifters @ 35¢ each.........$3.50
	Some ATF I had lying around.........$0.00
                    Total................$3.50

New lifters from Blau- 10 @ $12.00 each = $120.
Total savings: 120-3.50= $116.50 saved. That is enough to pay for my turbo and exhaust manifold :)

I just thought I would share my findings because I am very pleased with how quiet it is now.
Mike
