My !echo! is approaching 150K and now has a "tick" at startup in cold weather, especially under load. I have the factory manual and a valve adjustment seems to be a three ring circus of crank rotations, open and closing access doors, removing cams and mic'ing each solid lifter and installing new lifters with the adjustment "built in" to each new lifter.
Has anyone done one of these; I'm not going to try, I'm not even sure if I trust a dealer to do it. Should I wait until the noise is constant even after warmed up?
Perhaps someone has a suggestion about the source of the noise if I am off base. Car has had diet of Mobil1, Redline, Amsoil since 1200 miles and filler hole is "as new"
