Don't need too if you are getting 3 bars at a hot idle. One of the tricks to "fixing" noisy lifters is the half can of automatic trans fluid a day or so before you change the oil. Seems the high detergent level will do some cleaning on the lifters.

Otherwise it's new cam and lifter time. Nothing lasts forever. Drat!

Seen a picture of a lifter cut in half somewhere. Might have been on this BBS. Suggest a search limited to this part of the Pelican forums.

When was the last time you changed your timing and balance belts and/or cam chain and tensioner?
