Last november I purchased a jeep Liberety 2005 to use to go up to the snow removal company. need a 4wd to get there is a storm We started ( my son and I ) and it ran no codes ( removing the battery erases the codes ) that is what he did. it was stored ( of road no tags ) the owner said, so we could not do a dirive run. The body is abit ruff, but what we did not notice is that both rocker pannels were rusted out ( no rocker left ) the plastic trim was heald in place with expanding insulating foam.
So I put close to 2k in part of all kinds, full brake job all 4 wheels including the back plates ( rusted through, unable to install the parking brake shoes ), engine oil pan, transmission oil pan and filter very rusty, etc.. Was scared that the pans were rusted through ( the jeep had mud and rust caked under everywhere! Changed all lifters.
Now I have a question, after changing all the lifters, I still have quite a loud clicking sound like if the valves need ajusting. I read I think somewhere here that you can buy springs to stop the noise. I figured that maybe cheap oil was used and that maybe there was slug blocking the oil passages to the lifters so I put some SeaFoam in the oil. Still have the problem, is anyone able to tell me if the noise can be fixed?
Thanks
