Re: 2.5L Lifters
Well. It had 2 bad lifters.. I am like you.. I thought that bad lifters at
100K was not right.. But I also had a oil sending unit explode at 15K miles
so anything can happen.. It is all back together and purring like a kitten
now.. My next project is to change out the brakes.. They are original..
They look fine, but getting to the point of needing to be changed.. Now
explain that one.. 100K on the original brakes...
