Believe me, I really hope the best for you. I really do.
But you hit me in my sensitive spot as my experience with engines has been a bit rough. I have engine #4 in my car now. Engines #1 and #2 both suffered lifter failures so I'm a little sensitive to anything that might be a lifter issue. Please excuse my dire outlook when it comes to lifters.
