Could you or someone else elaborate on the lifter problems with the V6?
I have a '93 90CS with the V6, and I suspect I'm having some lifter
trouble (excessive noise). As the car is my daily driver, it sees quite
a bit of low-speed, stop-n-go stuff. I'd like to collect a little more
info on "common" problems before jumping to conclusions about mine...
