tool the lifters out a few days ago, been in oil since. today my brother flushed them a bit with petrol, then left them in oil till i got back, and he said he thought 2 of the lifters on the second piston from front (no 2?), both exhaust side, were squashy, and i confirmed that this arvo
so with any luck the engine noise is from those two lifters (and both being rooted is consistant with the noise that seems to be only once per revolution of engine (and therefore cant be lifters on two different cylinders, or different sides of engine (that are equally as stuffed)
anyone know where to buy new lifters? nissan or do they cost too much? (theyre supposed to be 40$?)
