hondo Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I have a '92 Loyale that has some lifter noise coming from the left side. How do you diagnose which lifter is the offending one? How do you fix it? Thanks ahead of time. http://www.brianchurilla.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subaru in the hills Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Check your oil, it might be low, filling up usually fixes my noise. And what would a Subaru sound like if not for the lifters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75subie Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 it is an oil/gas additive that really works to free up sticky lifters, and sludge in your engine.it even adds a little more power.it is not available in some states, but ask your local parts store if they have it.i may be able to locate you some.take care, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markman34 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 ATF worked for me. 1 litre in the oil and change when the tick goes away! I never thought mine would go away but the ATF worked. I was worried about using it until my friend the heavy duty mechanic told me it would not harm anything. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
