Your engine has solid lifters. Have you ever had them adjusted?
How do you adjust them?
I think that engine has bucket tappets and they are adjusted with shims. You need to take it to a good shop and get it done.
Most people never get the valves adjusted on these things so all high mileage ones make a lot of racket.
Which brand oil do you suggest? Mobil1 synthetic, non-synthetic, Valvoline, Motorcraft, ect?
Thanks
Oil is irrelevant with solid lifters that are making noise. The noise is mechanical and changing oil weights or brands won't fix it. You need to get the valves adjusted then worry about what oil to use.
I have no idea who to trust to do this? And if I can even afford this.
