A $15 bottle of worn engine treatment mix added to the engine oil will significantly reduce the noise for example http://www.nulon.com.au/prod_E10.htm >my 1994 eclipse 1.8L 120k miles has been making click click clicking sounds, >very audible at idle and low rpms. ive been told its the lifters. what about >the lifters is it? do they need to be replaced? adjusted? dealer wanted like >$1800 to do it, pshhhhhhh, yah right. theres nothing in my haynes about >lifters... any advice? I'm not much of a believer in additives but sometimes they have merit. There used to be an oil additive from Wynns called "Engine Tune-up". I've seen this stuff instantly quiet lifters in an engine that sounded like a coffee can full of marbles. It really is only designed to work on hydraulic lifters by cleaning them out, so know what you have before proceeding. Something to consider. FWIW YMMV DFB "When a legislature undertakes to proscribe the exercise of a citizen's constitutional rights it acts lawlessly and the citizen can take matters into his own hands and proceed on the basis that such a law is no law at all." - Justice William O. Douglas You may also want to try a good synthetic oil (Mobil One 10W-30) as well one time to see if this helps out.

Douglas It's on page 2A-9 in my Haynes - illustrated at 5.7b. Looks fairly easy to replace. They're called lash adjusters, and I'm not sure what they cost. $1800 is absurd, though, unless they were quoting you for a full top-end job, which would include new valve seats, springs, stem seals, etc. That all requires removing the cam covers, manifolds & head. Just to replace the lash adjusters can be done without removing the head. > You may also want to try a good synthetic oil (Mobil One 10W-30) as well one > time to see if this helps out.
