    Noisy valves???? Im sure you mean noisy lifters, if they are noisy the oil
    level is either low or the lifters are bad, replace em.

    Glenn - If you're going to be that picky about language, then you should
    know that they are not called lifters (in the fulcrum vs.
    in-line-with-valve-stem position) - they are called "lash adjusters".
    8^) And in the 80's you would have been "wrong" if you called an
    alternator a generator, but in the new century they are called
    generators. Picky picky picky. 8^)

    Noisy valves on a 3.0 acclaim are very likely to be due to worn
    guides, from my experience.

    Relax Bill, I wasnt being picky about language, I took it as the OP was
    thinking it was his valves making noise and not knowing it was acually his
    lifters (Lash adjusters).

    I knew what he meant. I'm plenty relaxed. 8^)

    Glenn picking on somebody else's imprecise use of language has to be the
    funniest thing I've seen in the last 15 minutes. Talk about the pot
    calling the kettle black!

    Hey lite bulb, why do you always shoot off at the mouth and then hide
    behind your screen. Is that what you do with your customers when you have a
    problem? Run and hide??
    Grow up alittle will you.
