OK – lifters still very noisy.
Lowered the oils level as advised. Drove around a bit today and they did quiet down to
normal.  Sat for a few hours then as I started it up the lifters were going crazy again!  I
did find a slightly bent push rod tube on the intake valve of # 3 cylinder – I straightened
it as much as I could.  Any advice is appreciated!!  Do lifters eventually go bad? Over
100,000 miles on them by now!
