Ok so my car has alot of miles on it 180,xxx to be exact i want to do a motor rebuild or swap but dont have the money to now. Anyways my car runs good no problems knock on wood. But the only thing is my lifters are a bit noisy especially when its cold. How can i fix this should i just buy new lifters? How big of a project is it i know its a pretty big one obviously just wondering like actually like time and difficulty. And what other things i should do as far as minor replacement of engine parts goes. Its my daily driver so i cant jsut tear it all apart and rebuild. Well yet that is.
Ok advise

Oh also i plan on doing gears and intake and that kind of stuff hopefulley in the not to distant future. The gears i will have installed at a shop but the intake i will probably do my self anything i should replace when i do that since my intake will be off and i will have more accessablity.
try something called Shaeffers Moly-treatment in place of that lucas oil. Runs about 15 bucks a pint. Lucas oil only increases the viscosity of your oil, where as Moly-treatment, will actually get in their and work with the engine components to reduce friction. The stuff works great and we run it in all of our race cars and street cars. Kept my last turbo 4 cylinder AutoX car alive to 210k miles, and got rid of all engine noise(including lifter ticks) Should be able to get it from any Shaeffer Dealer, otherwise if you wanna give it a try, let me know i think i can still get it from them.

You're not supposed to change from full synthetic to regular oil... once you go synthetic, you have to stay with it, until you flush the Engine...
Lol brian i only barrow things from autozone to test them out for you guys. lol. And yeah i wondered about switching from ful syn to blend. I did notice my engine makes a bit more noise now i think or maybe its just me listining for it more.
