Loud Rockers

[98gsspy]

My rockers have always made noise but after I put the turbo on my car I feel like they are louder. What causes loud rockers. And if I do replace them does anyone know if the 4g63 rockers are the same ones in the 4g64?

Lifters develop varnish over a period of time which reduces the travel of the valve inside of the lifter. This creates slack and leads to the tapping noise you have encountered.
Sometimes changing oil to Mobile 1 full synthetic with Lucas Oil Stabilizer cures the ticking. But a very inexpensive, easy, and effective way to eliminate lifter tick is add a can of “Restorer” to oil (Walmart or any auto store has it). It works every time on 4g63 engines and is the great "Wiseman Defiant blessed”! A more permanent solution would, of course, be to replace or clean them (see: http://www.vfaq.com/mods/lifters.html). But if you don’t want to deal with the time, effort, and expense of replacing or cleaning, just put a can of Restorer in. It’s so cheap you can afford to put one in after each oil change should the tick return. On my GST it lasts for 2-3 oil changes before the ticking returns. Other reported cures are adding Rislone or Sea Foam.

O, sorry.

I thought this was going to be about The WHO.

Are there any drawbacks to the "restorer" method?

I've used it for years and have never had or heard any complaints (other than some saying it's not a permanent fix).
