lifter ticking

I was looking for some information for a buddy of mine that has a turbo talon. but anyway i found this sight that had a bunch of FAQ so i started to read them then i found this one that says it can fix the tickin noise of lifters and i was wondering if anybody has ever head of this or done it and do you think it would work because my lude has just started to make a little ticking noise and i bugs the hell out of me. this wxplanes it on how to do a dsm just to let ya know.

The "Noisy lifter" solution

From the day I purchased it to the day I performed the following miracle
(I use this word because you will too) my Talon made horrible lifter noises.
Anyways here's a "low-buck" solution that's guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
BTW, I have 16 new lifters for sale that I prematurely bought before trying one of
the oldest tricks in the book (and now, one of my favorites).
Materials You Will Need:

1-quart Dexron II Transmission Fluid
1-quart of cold water
2-feet of Vacuum tubing
4-New NGK BP7ES spark plugs (BR7ES-11 non-turbo)
1-quart of any brand "motor flush"
5-quarts of Fresh Mobil-1 15W-50 Oil
1-New Oil Filter
First, make sure your Diamond Star is up to normal operating temperature. Find the
direct-port vacuum line at the throttle body and on the driver's side of the manifold
(where the VPC pressure sensor is usually plumbed into).
Have a friend bring the engine speed of the car up to 3500 rpm. Run your vacuum line
to the direct-port source at the throttle body. Submerse the other end in the bottle
of transmission fluid. Keeping the tube slightly pinched, regulate the flow of fluid
into the engine as your friend works the throttle to keep engine speed between 3500
and 4500 rpm. Large puffs, no, LARGE CLOUDS of smoke will begin to emit from the tailpipe
and possibly under the hood (if you have any exhaust leaks).
After half of the bottle is used, repeat with the water using half of that bottle.
After you locate the vacuum port on the driver's side of the manifold, repeat the process.
First use the tranny fluid, then follow with the water.
When you finish this process which will remove the carbon buildup within the cylinder,
follow the manufacturers directions for the engine oil "motor flush." Follow with an oil
change and replace the plugs (the chamber cleaning process can foul the plugs).
That's it, you're done.
Now, go out and drive the car and feel the power. If your valves were gummed up before,
it'll feel like these an extra 20 ponies under the hood as throttle response will be tremendous.
Since my car had so many miles on it, I repeated this process at the next oil change.
For the heck of it, I did a cylinder leakdown test. The results were amazing...two percent
leakdown in each cylinder. Typically, cars with this kind of mileage would be happy to see
6 to 12 percent.

I don't think I'm going to put any liquids into my vacuum tubes thank you. I think lifter noise comes from any used sports car, some mechanics would even consider that normal for any dual cam sports car. I don't think there would be any significant gains from making the sound go away. Of course you can do a lifter adjustment, but sucking in transmission oil and water into the vacuum tubes would be the last thing I do.

I think only air goes through those tubes WFT..
I think i can live with the NORMAL ticking sounds

if the ticking bothers you that much.... buy some better speakers.

I have a 95 lewd with 140k and my lifters started making that tickin. If you change your oil it quiets it down a little but it was still to loud for my liking. H22s have solid lifters (hence why they dont readjust by themselves) If you have your owners manual you can read what the distance is between your lifters and your cam, take off your valve cover and get a feeler gauge and re-gap them. Its kinda a bitch for the intake valves cuz there in the back and theres not much light. thats sounds a little easier and cheaper to me!

well when summer comes i am planning on port and polishing the head and intake but i just wanted it to be quit till then. do anyof you guys know of anyplace that does port and polish for imports that gets you good gains.
