Resent with a subject...

All,
  Good morning.  First off, thanks to everyone who replied to my "Antifreeze
in the combustion chamber" mail.  I did not do anything and have since not
seen any drips nor added antifreeze.  Don't ask because I have no idea.  I
now have another situation that needs the wisdom of this list.
  Before my heads sprung a leak, I had a stuck lifter or two.  When I was
doing the head job, I took the lifters out and soaked them in Trans fluid
mixed with a little kerosene (yes they were taken out and put back with
extreme care to their respective positions).  Now, when I drive on the
highway to work for about 1/2 hour and get on to local roads  my
"wasserboxxer" sounds like a blender with marbles in it.  The lifters are
clapping up a storm.  After the van sits, everything is restored to working
order and the cycle begins again (for the most part, doesn't happen every
time but more times than not).  It also does a little bucking with some
power loss mixed in.  Help!  I (and my wife) love driving our van but it is
really hard keeping up with it.  It just seams like there is always
something.  Thanks.  This list is quite a support group.  I WANT to keep my
Van...
