So am I understanding correctly that by adjusting the valve lash (which I had done about 4,000 miles ago) this will quiet the noise? Do lifters ever need replacing?
On the oil subject, should I stay with what I have been using, the Mobil Delvac, non-syn?
If I get the valve lash adjusted again, I would like to check the stretch of the timing chain, anyone have a link to DIY? I could only find one for an 84 SDL, 617.951 engine, I have the 617.952 engine.
Thanks for the advice, nice to be learning things about my car that I had no idea about before.
