Joe,
   Everyone always ask if your using 20w50?   If you
are I am curious why a person could not just turn the
lifter in until the noise goes away.   Perhaps it is
not sticking but just a bit on the loose side because
it no longer holds it's fluids so well.   I bet a lot
of us don't hold are fluids as well as we used to?

Subject: sticky lifter

Is marvel mystery oil the solution for a sticky
lifter? that horrible
ticking sound comes and goes but lately it has been
staying! somebody
suggested the marvel mystery oil. Can anyone offer any
other
suggestion? Is
it difficult to open up the pushrod tube and replace
the lifter.

thanks
