Hi, I recently store my 1990 vanagon for winter (I am living in Montreal and we have a lot of snow and calcium). After 3 week of storing, I went to the garage (heated one) and start my van but what a surprise when I started it, I got a big knocking around the engine and it seems to be the valve lifters that are empty. Is there any solution to prevent that? how can I fill the lifter again? just by starting the engine? If I do that a couple of time during winter will the lifter suffer from that? Thanks in advance for answers. You probably notice some grammatical mistake, I am sorry about that but my first language is french and I am not completly bilingual, but I try...
