Hi group, again I'm asking you folks about the noise or razzle I experience from my hydraulic valve lifters. The car is an european Escort, you probably never heard of it, it has an engine called Zetec, a 16V DOHC engine. The thing is, most often when coldstarting, the razzle is there and will generally disappear after a couple of minutes, while some mornings the razzle is virtually gone. I understand the operation of hydr. lifters and I realize what makes the function suck, like dirt in the pressure-valve inside the lifter. Except for replacing lifters, is there anything I can do to help making things better, I changed the oil a while ago, heard it could help, but no improvment yet. Any advice is appreciated, regards, Stefan
