Lifter noise

[chris15706]

I have a 2000 s-10 2.2 4cyl. It has 86000 miles on it and its makeing some lifter noise. Is there anything i can do to make this less noticeable? It also makes this loud fan noise. It used to do this only in the summer when it was really hot but now it does it all the time. My motor is not overheating. Temp is normal...

add lucas oil stablizer. It work great

[rockwild]

is your oil pressure good?

[chris15706]

Yeah its good.

is the oil level good and timeing set right

[chris15706]

Oil level is good. Did an oil change and added a bottle of lucas. That didnt do anything. It makes a hissing/grinding noise when i get into higher rpm's. Im thinking about taking it to a mechanic but does anyone have any other solutions?

[dmbrisket 51]

well how retarted or advanced is the timeing? and i still say for some reason that theres not enough oil up at the lifters, but if the dip stic is full then there is, the only real thing that i can think of is bad lifters or timeing being off

DROP YOU OIL NOW!

Lucas crap causes oil foaming which will stop proper lubrication from happening.

Drop the oil and use nothing but a non fram filter and Castrol GTX 5w30.

What oil and filter are you using now?

[dmbrisket 51]

lucas is fine, IF YOU USE THE RECCOMENDED MIXTURE AND NOT A DROP MORE, useing more is what causes the air-ating, if you used more then about half a pint in your oil you will bubble, otherwise it doesnt harm a thing, in fact my rear end use to lock up, i used a bottle of advanced auto rear end gear oil, and a half a bottle of lucas and i havnt had a problem sence, and ive used it in several trannies to stop slippage, and as long as you use it in small quantities it is fine

No!

Never use this additive in ANYTHING!

Causes air introduction even if you use the proper dose.

This is not a fact I have pulled out of the air, IT IS FACT!

Hehe, I was just trying to let you know about this stuff.

It no good to any engine.

A lot of people promoting Lucas don't know about this and blindly recommend it to people.

The product preys upon the ignorant, and you my friend like me are no longer ignorant, we know the facts through actual testing.

With the lucas in it?

[chris15706]

Yeah i put lucas in it a couple weeks ago. No difference at all. It was a waste of money. It says on the bottle that it will stop noisey lifters but i think its bs. Im thinking about doing a flush before i spend money to take it to the shop.
