A bad lifter is a rare commodity in a M119 engine . . . it's possible, just not highly probable.

If you read MENU#19, you will see how I solved my problem in two steps;
use of an 'engine-flush' and then use of Auto-RX for 2000 miles.

If you have ever used an additive such as Slick 50, Prolong, etc., then you probably had the same problem as I did; partially plugged oil passages and probably a partially plugged lifter.

All I can say, it has worked for me.
