I've discovered somehow on my spark plug change it's possibily stuffed a lifter in my engine.
It's a 2006 VZ Executive, alloytech engine.
I need idea's on fixing this up. Stuff a mechanic........ I know it's the best way to go but I dont have money to pay someone for like 20-40 hours labour possibly from the things i've been hearing from people.
1. Worse case scenario, a lifter is broken or something.
My questions here are:
1. Do I bother adding some kind of additive, then doing a engine oil change and filter change incase somethings flowing around somewhere.
2. I head adding some tranny oil might help release it a bit (like a cap full worth).
The car sounds like a lawn mower honestly, it's not nice.
******
IDEA'S? ALSO....... If you guys think I need to replace a lifter, does anyone know someone who could do a guide to getting at them, what do I remove etc?
Cheers
Jamie
