i have to share this thing about lifters in my 97 SOHC, is very weird
this is the whole post
http://www.feoa.net/modules.php?name=Fo ... ic&t=61898
the weird thing is this issues only happend in the admision lifter in the # 4 Cylinder, the cam's lobe is good.
i always use ELF Molygraf 15W50 (GDL Mexico) but 3 month ago i put Mobil Clean 7500 (5w30) the car start to run good but after 2 weeks start with the soun that i show you in the post, i use Mobil for about 2 weeks more and i change it to the ELF Molygraf 15w40 for about one month but the sound start to grow up, so i change again the oil for a thicker 20w50 Roshfran Ti-22m and the sound start to silent a little bit, but yesterday start very tapping so i check the head, and found the lifter issues.
i already change it and noise was completely over, i want to know why this thing happened in this lifter, bat lifter material or maybe i have bad lub in this section? when i take out the lifter i check the oil port and it match with the lifter port.
best regards and thank you very much
