'88 300 hydraulic lifter replacement
I have, I think, bad lfters. Motor has 200K + miles and runs fine except after warming up a really bad "knock" comes from the engine, I also lose power. If it is the lifters can anyone give me advice as to how to confirm, replace if necessary or any point me to any "how-to" articles.
Any help much appreciated...

it sounds to me like the bearings are shot.
bad lifters would make it sound like its missing on a cylinder or sound like it has a burnt valve.
i think whats happening is that when the motor heats up the bearing tolerances become excessive, creating the knock and loss of power.
if its good or bad, dont forget to rate your fellow users.
