Yeah, we have hydraulic lifters....
Let me know if you find out anything helpful and I'll do? While I know the VQ tends to be a noisy engine every other 350/g35 Ive been around has never made.

I'm considering a new/used vehicle within the next 6-12 months.
I have a PT Cruiser which has been a reliable and incredibly convenient car for the most part.

Started noticing a noise when decelerating that sounded like maybe a bearing in the front was going. Popped the hood and discovered this noise at idle. Sounds like it is under the valve cover. Took it to a mechanic yesterday who said it isn't mechanical...

I was surprised to be a classic case of contradictory MB maintenance opinions between "MB never breaks down" and normal maintenance schedules.

Hey all--
Can anyone speak either authoritatively or anecdotally to the idea that the Jeep T5 transmission should *not* get ATF and if no, what I should be putting in there?
My transmission has been rattling badly at road speed lately. At first I thought...

Now it only makes noise now....
Valve train has always been a little noisy
