My engine is out of the car at the moment, changing injecters and turbos.

Question: Best (and money wise) way of curing noisy lifter/s ?

I wondered about just removing/cleaning ? or bite the bullet and buy all new ?

Any help advice appreciated.

try mike feeny in the traders section, i got mine from the USA built with my engine, think they were about £200

Cheers mike, will do in the morning.

If the lifters were replaced not so long ago, remove & inspect them. They could be noise as one or more maybe blocked. If that is the case, soak them in petrol.

That sounds about right, have you removed and soaked/cleaned before or anyone, and of course has it worked. ie: silent engine, no more noise.

Strip and rebuild them:-

too true bud.got my clevite ones from the states for a ton with shipping.great link but thats too much work.

Cured mine by going down to Harrys and getting some valve lifter lub, cost about £4, all at the suggestion of JeffTT, and low and behold it worked. no sewing machine noise. took about 150 miles to go through, but been fine for last 3K. worth a try before spending hundreds on replacing them at about £25/each?
