Bad Lifter (stock or upgraded replacement?)
So I went to the dealer garage and had the guy listen to some noises and stuff and he said that it sounds like I have a collapsed lifter, and I got to thinking about stuff I'd like to do to my car in my life time and it includes upgrading the 3400 engine to stage 2 or stage 3 naturally aspirated with a ZEX wet nitrous system. So I found these improved lifters on Milzy Motorsports for a dollar more each than stock lifters from AutoZone or O'reilly's and I was thinking if I ever did get my engine upgraded that the improved ones might hold up better to stress.
Anyone have any suggestions, this is gonna be a while in the future but I don't want to wait so long that the lifter causes permanent damage (if that's even possible (>.>) my dad says that sometimes it burns the area around the lifter or makes the car miss).
