Thanks for the prompt responses!

We do not yet have a Durametric, we will be able to determine how retarded it is once we get that information. It's hard to locate the noise as we are afraid to run the engine for too long. What are your thoughts on running it and holding it at 1800 - 2000 RPM while we locate the noise?

It makes sense to be the hydraulic lifter, but I am confused why the code is showing up saying P0012. Could that just be a red herring?

Gelbster, those are good questions. Unfortunately I don't know enough about engines to answer them.

Thanks,
Sean
