Re: Head lifters?
A new set of lifters should cost a little over $100.

Re: Head lifters? How bad are they? Try this little trick. Drain half your oil and put in some automatic transmission fluid (yes you read right), drive around the block a few times, let run for a minute, then drain again. Then add four new quarts of oil. Automatic transmission fluid has a detergent in it that will help clean the crap built up in the lifters over the years. Keep us posted.

Re: Head lifters? How do you know your lifters are bad? If they're just ticking loudly thats normal for shitty 1g lifters. If you have to replace them i would suggest buying some 3g lifters while your at it.
