Our old friend Gordon seems to have developed a nasty lifter tap. After doing a few days of research on what brand of additive works the best, I decided to try the LIQUI MOLLY brand. Let's see how well it actually works!
Hi. I'm happy that your vehicle is running like you want. Could you tell me where I can purchase this product? I tried Walmart, Auto Zone, O Reillys and Advance but no luck. 🤷🏾♂️
I would think that it would not work as well for mechanical or solid lifters. A lifter tap with a hydraulic lifter is almost always caused by the plunger getting gummed up or seized in the lifter body. This creates a gap between the plunger and the push rod, causing the tap. I don't think that is the case with mechanical lifters. Obviously not the case with solids. Thanks for watching!
I would add engine clean to the oil. Run it for 50 miles or so, then drain the oil and get as much junk out as you can. Then I would put in new oil and add this.
I put the same thing in my dodge 318 5.28 cylinder had a 300 and 5000 miles and within an hour I'll text is gone and it runs like I just got it when I bought it it had $132,000 and it seems like it runs better than when I bought it
Hmmmm, I wouldn't think it would work as good. As my problem was definitely a stuck hydraulic lifter with the gap between the push rod and lifter cup. I would think a solid lifter tap would be more of a valve, spring, or push rod problem. I could be wrong tho!?
