    Default no more noisy lifters

    my 6 cly VL had noisy lifters since I got it and Nulon lifter quietner only worked for a while, mechanic said use the mobil additive for the engine oil, I did and no more lifter noise at all
    very surprised and happy, was thinking I needed new lifters at $20 each

    you can stick your finger in the oil filler hole and feel around to see how much muck or sludge is in there, new lifters are I think, about $20 each

    yes but this wont show how the lifters are , as the lifter is a sealed little unit which has only a small holes for the oil to enter though thats where the oil gunks up in
