I HAVE 156,000 MI. AND HAVE ONLY CHANGED A CLUTCH @ 127,000 MI. AFTER ABOUT 100.000 MI. THE MANIFOLD STUDS STARTED GOING BAD...THERE WAS A DISTICT PINGING WHEN I START MY TRUCK AND AFTER AWHILE IT WOULD GO AWAY....WELL HERE LAST WEEK IT STARTED PINGING AND WOULDN'T GO AWAY..THOUGHT THAT IT WAS MY STUDS NEEDING SOME REAL CHANGING, BUT BEFORE I COULD GET THIS DONE..I WAS ENTERING THE ON RAMP OF THE INTERSTATE AND IT LOST DRASTIC AMOUNTS OF POWER...IT WOULD GO....EVEN GET UP TO 75 MPH....YET HAD TO FLOOR THE THROTTLE. I TOOK IT TO A MECH. AND HE SAYS THE VALVES ARE NOT PUSHING OIL TO MY LIFTERS...AND I NEED A NEW ENGINE. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHEN I NEED BRAKE FLUID THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON... SO HOW THE HECK CAN YOU BURN UP AN ENGINE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON. ...PLEASE HELP. First i have a 95 pickup with 147,000+. The only thing i can think of is maybe the oil pump broke? And no oil in the motor just the pan. and the motor got too hot? I would take it some where else first to make sure. >I HAVE A 96 NISSAN XE PICK UP AND I BOUGHT IT NEW.

You have an overhead cam in that engine. Your mech thinks you're an idiot. He's lying to you. You overheated the engine severely at one time or another. Sorry about your luck. From what you've said I don't think you have enough sense to own a vehicle, much less operate one. BTW, on your keyboard there is a "Caps Lock" key. If you push it and then make a post, it further makes you look like an idiot. Go buy a new truck and try maintenance.

This is off topic, but -- assuming you're not just trolling -- typing your message in all caps is the Internet equivalent of yelling your question at everybody at a party, spraying them with saliva. By not bothering to type in lower and upper case, you are showing your disrespect for everyone. Now, if you are confined to all caps for some reason - that's different. -- R Flowers >>YES I AM AN IDIOT WHEN IT COMES TO THE MECHANICS OF AN ENGINE...YET THAT IS WHY I POSTED, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW.

So turn off yer fuckin' caps lock and maybe people will listen to you. Or you also an idiot with computers? SignatureTFM® >Valves don't push oil to lifters. Lifters are oil operated.

Yes it's got nothing to do with valves pushing oil the lifters. Hydraulic tappets that sit directly between overhead cam and valve cap are LIFTERS. Running with them making noise damages the camshaft, that noise is the cam impacting the top of the lifter at 1/2 lift instead of smoothly from the base circle of the cam. >You overheated the engine severely at one time or another. More likely he didn't do oil changes often enough and spray bars in head have clogged up so no oil feed to cam/lifter surface. Hydraulic tappets sludge up, get a new set fitted, you will need cams too. Though the mechanic may have done other tests like compression or looked at the worn cam and found the engine to be a state that means it's not worth doing further work on. -- Peter Hill Spamtrap reply domain as per NNTP-Posting-Host in header Can of worms - what every fisherman wants.
