Hydraulic lifters
My 92 3.0 l just acquired a top end engine noise. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
I pulled the L.H. valve cover off to look for something obvious like a broken spring or a rocker etc. and found nothing broken.<o></o>
I did however notice play in one of the rockers and since the spring was okay and there was no wear on the rocker fulcrum, I assume that the hydraulic lifter must have failed.<o></o>
Anybody had this happen to them? Is it common?<o></o>
Looks like a straight forward repair, but a time consuming one, so any advice or tips would be appreciated. <o></o>

The lifters are not that hard to take apart. Perhaps all you need is to clean up all the junk inside. If the rollers do not have play and the sides are not scratched up, I'd do that and reuse the lifters. By the way, you have a 4.0L, right? Those lifters are really expensive. The 3.0L are much cheaper to maintain and rebuild.

Try at http://www.flatlanderracing.com/rebuildkitsford.html for the lifters.
This is where I bought the Master Rebuild Kits to rebuild the two 3.0 I have.
High Quality Stuff.
