rxbandits,
i'm sorry to hear that somebody told you that the hydraulic lash adjusters are adjustable. as the name implies, hydraulic lash adjuster, it is your engine oil does the adjustments. duh!. if the small orifices are clogged from improper oil usage, prolonged interval between oil changes, overcooled engines, you can disassemble each one of the hla carefully one at a time and not interchange small parts and clean them in mineral spirit and reassemble very carefully. bleed the hlas while submerged in light oil. atf does a good job at this or hydraulic oil or light engine oil. extreme care and cleanliness is a must doing this. otherwise, if they are worn out, you have no other recourse but to replace them with new ones

what problem with your car you're experiencing? parang wala naman yata problem or parang you want cleaning lang. hindi na cguro kailangan, regular oil change lang ay ok na.
