Noisy Lifters

[Boonie]

Hey I have at lest on or more noisy lifter. when the noise stops (guess it reagins oil pressure) another one starts almost straight away. Is it detrimental to the working of the engine or will it be fine? Is it easy to fix?

There is an additive you can try, I had the same problem, it is caused by a build up of scum.I think it is a common thing and no damage is done just noisy. not a big job to fix.

Mine does that not all the time but maybe a 1/4 of the time and its not harmful just annoying, I used penrite at my last oil change and is happenening very little now.

im using penrite 'street machine' at the moment. needs a change soon though. ill give the additive a crack! thanks

first thing to do is change the oil and filter, this may be all thats needed

dont forget to get the right weight oil and good quality oil as well

i had a noisy lifter just very recently, i threw in a couple of bottles of wynns noisy lifter n tapper crap, doesnt do it anymore, all the brands do the same thing so jus go talk to your local super cheap guy he'll be able to tell the difference.
