Joe, Several things can occur to cause your problem. Make sure you have 20w50 and a good german oil filter. Make sure you have good oil pressure If these thing are ok than I would try adjusting the offending lifter to zero lash. Yes 800 dollars would make a good payment toward a rebuild if that is needed. gary Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2003 11:25:32 -0400 From: joe lucca <joe_lucca@HOTMAIL.COM> Subject: replacing lifters Hello everybody, i just wanted to see what kind of input i could get on this subject... the mechanic says the lifters in my van are worn out and need to be replaced in order to get rid of horrible ticking sound. replacing the lifters and tubes =$800 does this seem like too much? how hard is this to do for a novice? more than likely I'll be living with the ticking for a while longer. joe
