no, it’s not worth it, and that is what we would be saying about your car if you listed it for sale. That’s what we were trying to tell you before…and at least this one runs ---

I just fixed it FINALLY it needed 5 lifters not 2 after all. It may need a 6th…I drove it to the car wash tonight and it stopped ticking. However shortly after I pulled back out of the car wash it started again. The tick was directly related to engine speed not vehicle speed so I think its either another lifter that cant decides if it wants to go flat \>=0 or an injector so tomorrow imma run Seafom through it and see if that fixes it. Imma drive this car till winter then sell it. Its only getting regular maintenance. Then I’m gonna take the coilovers, wheels and rear end off, replace with stock stuff (well except wheels I gotta put something cheap on it) and put it on another 240 that I buy in Maryland when I move there. That car will either get an SR20 or an RB25. But I’m gonna see about putting the RB20 back together and sell it as a whole motor/transmission/ecu or piece it out…I’m done with that engine. ---

> [@car ramrod"](#): > > why not just finish the car you have? finish what… ive come to the conclusion a while back that the car is beater status. you dont know how many things that have hit that car. and 1 out of almost 17 were myfault (snowbank). everything else including deer/city plow truck, more deer,etc. I already know my car is a piece of shit. you dont have to tell me 🙂 new car for '10. already in the works. and ernie, its on nico somewhere, you can customize the stock sohc mani to make it turbo.

I was under the impression that when you replace lifters, you generally want to replace them all instead of just the bad ones. But hey what the hell would I know. I don’t play with pistons much. Not trying to be a smart-ass, just looking for clarification on the matter. ---
