If you,ve done an oil change recently,it could take a few k,s for the hydraulic lifter to fill up again, if not then it,s time to re invest in some new litters, not to harder job depending on your experience? It,s not going to kill your engine straight away though.

New cam and lifters, fit a 3.9 cam shaft to gain a little extra power and get the brain chipped by Graeme Coopers .
And then before you know it you'll be fitting some reco heads and the list will go on and on.
