What's the reason for replacing the lifters?

wheelinwv

they are tapping like crazy an i cant seem to find the right oil an addative to quiet it down

Flowpro

Oil pressure ok? Engine oil previously not changed regularly and excessively gummed up on the inside of the engine?

stays around 40-50...ive used motor flush and just recently ran seafoam through the intake...im running rotella t 10-30 an MMO

i changed the valve cover gasket right after i got it an it was pretty clean....

Perhaps you're on the right track.

I had to replace the lifters in my CJ7 a while back due to them not pumping up properly. The head was clean but down by the lifters in the block it was all sludged up, especially in the back. It was well worth an afternoon of labor for a quieter engine.

While you're in there obviously look everything over.....pushrods, rockers, pistons, etc.

Good luck.

yea its driving me crazy ....i figure once i get the new lifters in il prolly run some more motor flush thru it the next few oil changes just to make sure its all out ....hopefully everything comes off an on easy...
