Hi,

My SD1 started making a noise yesterday.  I'm guessing it is a
malfunctioning lifter.  It is a mostly regular noise, although it does fade
away from time to time.  Sounds like it is coming from under the intake
manifold.  It's a fairly solid sounding tapping noise.

Sound like a lifter?

Wynn's Engine Tune and Rislone have been mentioned recently as useful snake
oil products.

If it is a lifter, is it likely that there is just a bit of crud in the
lifter that a motor flush or something might dislodge?

My best guess is that this engine has around 140K miles on it.

Glen
