| I hope we get an update on the engine.  Did it improve after running?

In the case of my Vanagon, the noisy lifter will become quiet after driving for a bit. It helps to keep RPMs up around 4000.

It's annoying but I can live with it. I rarely drive my Vanagon these days, that's probably part of the problem. I did try a dose of Marvel Mystery Oil, that did help for while but wasn't a permanent fix.
