[QUOTE="Bumpin' Yota, post: 633068, member: 547455"] Um you need to change mechanics fast!! A spun rod bearing does not do shit to the block so yes you CAN rebuild it. Furthermore, lifter noise is pretty **** common. My 3vze has had lifter noise since day one with 60,000 miles. Now that it has 256,000 miles it has the same lifter noise. If I were you I'd switch over to a synthetic 20w50 and keep an eye on its color. The moment it starts to turn black change it. **** the interval changing crap - if it turns black on you CHANGE IT. I'd also think that a valve job is in your future. If you dont have a pushrod engine, your valve shims my need to be replaced with slightly thicker units. Mine do. Look to the factory service repair manual for how to do that with your specific engine. Anything by Chiltons bites *** and is a waste of money. [/QUOTE]
