I drove my Alero 2.4L out of my garage last weekend after sitting for 2 months. I noticed that it was a little low on oil and that my motor ticks. I put oil in it and it still ticked. I talked to a handful of mechanics I know and came to a conclusion that is a sticky lifter. I then proceded to change my oil and put wynns engine tune in it to release the lifter. I drove around for a couple of days and it didn't go away. I stoped driving it because my tranny is really bad and slips. I want to replace the lifters and and throw in the secret cams swap aswell. Just wanted to know, how easy is it and what all do I need for the cam swap and how will these cams effect my vehicles preformance. If I follow the haynes manual I think I will do ok. I have done 4 or 5 engine swaps and trannys and a head gasket but have never really pulled an engine apart ad put it back together to have it run. My buddy has done a couple of Quad 4's and there pretty much the same thing. Please fill me in on what I don't know.
