Outer Limits 4x4 Board

a mate of mine has a 95 model 3.5 ltr v6 pajero and only had lifters replaced on saterday 10/4/00 the mechanic said it may take 2/3 days for lifter noise to go. the noise is still there after motor has warmed up. but no noise on cold start. any advice as my mate is about to tourch it
thanks.

its a mitsi thing, they will always be noisy, i sent my rebuilt engine back under warrenty to get them redone, they still tick, going to try the injectors next

I've had persistent lifter noises ever since I blew a head gasket and the oil turned to caramel. I've changed the oil three times since then and each time it's progressively better. This last oil change I think I've cracked it:

Warmed up the engine to operating temp.
Added in some of that oil flush additive and idled for 15 mins.
Dropped the oil while it was still as hot as possible.
Changed the filter.
Put thicker oil in this time: 20W-50.
Added new type of additive: MBL8: http://www.fueloiltreatments.com.au/Tec ... itive.html
Drove around for 30 mins.

No more lifter noises. I guess you could say it's 'in remission', since I just don't think it's possible to cure this problem.

I would be taking the sump off and checking that the pickup isnt blocked.
