Sounds like they are bad again. I have found that you can almost expect a lifter noise with the 3100 or 3400. I would do the intakes again and do real good engine flush,coolant and oil, then roll the dice.I would not even consider the idea of doing this at home. If you are really interested in doing this yourself you had better have a real big tool box and a whole lot of time.The motor/trans/sub-frame has to come out of the rig. Rough guess,the front bumber will have to be about 5.5-6 ft off the ground.Then you have to get it out from under the rig.I strongly suggest you re-consider.Can it be done at home? Without a doubt.You had better be more stubborn than I am and have more patience than Gahndi.
