Thank you so much for the information. A couple of questions; is there a write-up that you know of that outlines the procedure to change the bad lifter and is there a good way to clear out any RTV that may be starving said lifter(s)? I could probably do the job without any aid from a tutorial, but I just want to make sure it's done right.
