A knowledgeable mechanic will know how to determine which one or two are
actually bad and replace only those. I would avoid using any more of
thos 2 piece tubes than necessary due to the expense and desire to leak.

Subject: replacing lifters

Hello everybody,
i just wanted to see what kind of input i could get on this subject...

the mechanic says the lifters in my van are worn out and need to be
replaced
in order to get rid of horrible ticking sound. replacing the lifters and
tubes =$800

does this seem like too much?

how hard is this to do for a novice?

more than likely I'll be living with the ticking for a while longer.

joe
