Once I put everything in I will know for sure but I think the EA is ok.

Once I get this issue resolved I want to attack the lifter noise. I read up and know about the plastic things under the valve covers that break up and will check it out and replace them all if any one of them are bad.
Heh...I did mention to order the tubes ... anyway...good to hear that things are making noise...a step in the right direction! Did you have any trouble removing the old gasket?
Here is a link to a diy pictorial for the cam oiler tubes http://www.peachparts.com/Wikka/M119OilGuides For the most part the same engine, except that this model has coil packs and ours do not - but once you have the valve cover off, it's pretty much the same thing.

Good luck!
