What should I use to clean noisy valves ? Is it save for engine to use it . Plymouth Acclaim 92 , 3.0L 260K km. ( runs well )



Thanks

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.
