I drive around with lifter tap, synthetic did not get rid of it. at some point I may replace them if I do hopefully it will be with something less expensive than these [http://www.dsmparts.com/customer/product.php?productid=188&cat=&page=1](http://www.dsmparts.com/customer/product.php?productid=188&cat=&page=1) ---

well, the lifter tap is gone for some reason without changing anything, it was on the first day when it was bought, maybe it had been sitting too long. ---

lifter tick possibley. do whatever the fuck you want with your car its urs. if you want 500hp its not gonna be cheap, and its gonna take alot of time maybe a few years unless you have deep pockets and are a great mechanic with lots of spare time. Just research this stuff, get accainted with parts dealers because your gonna be calling them always askin where you parts are. if you want that amount of hp do it dont let ppl stop ya its just gonna take ya a bit ---
