Can anyone tell me if the lifters in the 2.2 diesel engine need periodic adjusting? My engine sounds noiser than it use to, or is there any adjustment for the timing chain that I would need to check? Thanks

Try changing your oil. The lifters are hydraulic, but rely on oil flowing through tiny holes on the top of the lifters. If those get plugged, they don't work ;)
