| Valve lifters- 300E 24V (1991)
At cold start of a morning I get noisy lifters for about 2-3 seconds. The rest of the day is fine. My car has 292,000K's on the clock and the engine is great. Uses approx half a litre of oil in 10,000K and is dry as a bone.......not a single oil leak.
My question is...............should I replace the lifters at this point or wait and see if they get worse? My Merc mechanic says to run synthetic oil which he says may help.
Any comments.................. |
