Why shouldn't we have a conversation about our engines?
Isn't that exactly what these forums are for?
Also, if an engine with 86k miles on it, like my '98 2.5 does, has 20 bad lifters in it (just for speculation), and I were to replace all the bad lifters in the engine, it would then allow the camshafts to properly transmit the proper amount of lift to the valves.
That would mean that I might have restored 10 hp (another figure that is purely speculative) back to the engine just by spending say $300 on parts.
So why wouldn't I want to know about a procedure to inspect my valve lifters if it allows me to work on my car, and restore a bit of extra power, that would then be put to full use the next time I go to the track, and power my way around HPR?
What exactly do you have against discussions about engine repairs?
