Ken and the list
there was a fellow in the mid west that serviced a fleet of vanagons for
a medical business
he shared his experiences of this in an article that he sent to limbo
some time ago in that article he wrote that the ticking valve was mostly
due to the engine coming to rest with the #2 exhaust valve open and the
#2 lifter bleeding down over night or longer
I don't believe the oil level when parked has anything to do with the
lifers loosing there prime and clicking
the low oil level may however contribute to the lifters pumping down on
the highway
one way to reduce gumming up the lifters is to add marvel mystery oil a
day or to before an oil change
