Did they replace any lifters? Just the pulley?

Default Re: I have a 99.5 it has been making this noise for about 2000mi? Is it doing damage?

That depends on what type of environment you'll be running the car in. In my case (California) Mobil 1 15W-50 works out pretty well, but I wouldn't want to use that viscosity in a colder climate, car may prove difficult to start.

No lifters just the pulley&timing chain.

Bob does it appear as though it might be a bad oil filter or what

According to Mr. Turner below, it may be. I have not heard of this. It's worth a try Steve.

Good luck,
