Default changed all my lifters and cam tensioner

still getting a slight ticking sounds like a single lifter.

i'll post a video in a bit.

Any thoughts?

i'd think if it's an oil pump i'd have more serious issues.

Default Ok here's another video noise is almost gone

i'm thinking there is possibly a restricted passage since it was still clattering i ran a quart of atf and changed the oil 20 mins later.

still got a little lifter noise.<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIy3LOVNXSw">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIy3LOVNXSw</a</li></ul>

How much do you think a shop would charge for the Cam Chain Tensioner Fix?

Have you tried Seafoam or any kind of cleaner?

Default it was relatively easy i removed the intake cam only

this then does NOT require the removal of the timing belt at all.

use whiteout to mark both your cams/chains and sprockets.

book time is 5 hours.

the tensioner and gasket's cost are around $130-$180 depending where you get it.

Default New lifters?

How long have you run it since the change? I have had listers take up tp five minutes to pump up fully.

Default That the exact noise my car makes. I was thinking lifter replacement.

How hard was it?
