huge problem
ok i havent posted in a while because i have been busy with work and school. now that schools finished i finally have some time to work on my car. first thing i need to change are my valve lifters or lash adjusters. i took it to a shop when i started hearing a really bad ticking noise, and they told me it was the lifters. after researching i founf that it was better to get lifters with a bigger hole about 3mm. i found some on ebay for about $79. are these good? another thing is that i'm leaking oil from either the head or one of the cams. when i look closer it doesnt seem like it has a gasket at all. can you tell from just looking at the side of the engine. my question is if the one i can buy at autozone is good enough because i have a 14b? the last thing is that my temp gauge is reading higher at about 3/4 most of the time, i think its because the gasket is worn out or not there and its mixing with the coolant or its just the thermostat that needs to be replaced. i want to buy all of these parts at once so that i could do it in one project. i read from vfaq on how to remove the lifters. is this a project i should do or send it to a shop? i have about 2 other friends that could help me and my father who is a mechanic. any other information or parts that i should look into?

Re: huge problem
I would replace the thermostat and cap just to ensure thats not an issue with your heating/cooling... As for the gasket being replaced by the cams, you can do that yourself along with the lifters... I really don't think its so complicated that it would need to be taken to a shop to do those little things.

Re: huge problem
ok some other questions are popping up. i found that i need to replace the turbo outlet gasket, but its hard to find one. i could only find it at v motorsports for $4. should i change the inlet gasket as well? also i'm leaking oil from my oil cap. i have already replaced it and still it leaks oil. i heard that if i buy another gasket and put it with the old one on the oil cap it will seal it better. is this true and where can i find this gasket? since i'm takinf off the head would it be good to change the intake and exhaust gaskets?

Re: huge problem
Might as well do the other turbo gasket while its off and yes, you should do the intake/exhaust gaskets that is unless you dont take off the manifolds. I personally would just do them anyway.
