Re: Pulling lifter sout of a 232-258-4.0

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

I'm hoping it doesn't come to this but if engine flush doesn't solve my 
ticking lifter(s), I'm pulling the engine and putting in a new cam and 
lifters. I know this is technically an in-car fix but the engine was 
repainted in the past the wrong shade of blue (it's the 69-73 color), the 
oil pan's pretty rusty from lack of paint in a few spots and I want to fix 
those issues (I was planning on pulling the engine eventually so this is 
just an excuse to do it sooner). I know the engine's been apart once 
already to clean up coolant turned to goo (the car sat for a long time at 
one point in it's past) and it was a daily driver until about 5 years ago 
so sludge shouldn't be an issue.
