Re: Best choice for replacement lifters
Have you tried Sea Foam in your motor oil. I would do as bill has
recommended and add some Sea Foam to the oil about a 100 miles before you
change it. I use it a lot on the Big diesel truck engines when I service
them on my job. It's the best cleaner I have found to date. And it does all
that it says,which is pretty darn good. A lot of products lay down a lot of
claims but this one works.

Re: Best choice for replacement lifters
Yep, tried it before last oil change. It didnt seem to help.
One of my problems being retired and living here on Maui is that I don't
drive that many miles. Actually I really can't call that a problem
though! I suspect the cleaners don't get a chance to really work well.
Aloha and thanks to all for advice.

Re: Best choice for replacement lifters
Low mileage, would dictate changing oil every three months,
regardless of mileage.
