Ok  I  know that you all are tired of me writing the list with this.But that
is what it is  here for right ?Ok here it goes for the next question now
that the oil is taken care of.I have had this low in ticking noise from the
right side of the engine for awhile sounds like a type 1 with a bad
adjustment at the valve. I put in some stp oil treatment it quitened it down
a great bit .A friend of mine that  has a 90 gl vanagon said he thinks it
could be a cracked or brokened spring at the lifter ? So what goes into
fixing this ?How much would it be to have it fixed? Would the case have to
split to do it ?
