Default PLEASE HELP !!! Sticky lifter noise,

96 Passport with noisy sticky valve lifters. Two dealership said just live with it, that performance won't be hurt, just enbarassing noise. It sounds like a rattle at high revs, but runs great. I've been looking for some
magic lubricant, or voodoo incantation to eleviate this problem, but I must say it has run great this way for the past 5 years so I don't view it as much a mechanical prob as I do an annoyance.

All suggestions are greatly appreciated!

thanks to everyone!

Hey there bud you might want to try what is called Marvel Mystery Oil, you can find it most any where it is sold in a black and red can. If you can't find that then 1-2 ounces of plaintransmission fluid (dextron-mercon) shoulddo the same trick. Good luck!
