I have a 1.8 that the po swiched to hydraulic lifters, what's involved in switching back to solid. Engine runs good just starts up and runs loud if I let it sit for a few days.Would rather deal with adjusting valves then hear that noise one more time. Thanks in advance!!!

cheap solutions first add some "engine elixir" & run it awhile - lots of canned stuff on FLAPS shelves - or ya can just pour in a Qt of ATF or Marvel Mystery Oil which will usually accomplish the same thing i most recently, solved this problem on a 1.6 miata with ATF & letting it idle for an hour and then do an oil & filter change (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) . X2 on the cam issue - what ya don't know (or tell us) is if the P.O. changed the cam to a hydro grind when he did it - if not, ya got a bigger problem (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) do a search on The Samba, where there are lots of Type-4 hydro guys . |
