Hello out there!
I have that all too familiar stuck lifter tap tap tap, under the valve cover. I can't afford to fix it right now and am wondering is there anything in the form of a aftermarket additive that frees sticky lifters? Also I know I can't let this go forever so what kind of damage is it doing and what is the ultimate outcome of leaving it?

190 420 SEL

Thanks

A wiped out cam lobe.

What kind of oil are you running? You might try mobil one 10w30. It freed stuck lash adjusters for my 84 500sec.
