94 Galant Super Saloon Knocking

[Gapos7]

Hi, i am a first timer here, i have a knocking problem on my 94 Galant, and it is coming from hydraulic valve lifters, i already change my oil twice in 1 week, checked also the timing, some say i need to clean the valve lifters.because when it gets dirty it creates knocking sounds also,does anyone expirienced this?

could be. it's a pretty big job pero better than hearing the noise all the time imo.

i saw some web page na kaya daw i-DIY ito eh. :P
also there's that "kerosene with your oil change" thingie which is also supposed to clean the HLA's. pero individually removing them and lovingly cleaning them is the way to go daw.

i hope that's the 4-cylinder galant!! para 16 lang yung lifters. the V6 would have 24 lifters. 50% more work!

Actually common nga yan, try searching sa mga boards sa US discussing Eclipse and 3000GT, sobrang common ang valve lifter noise, may mga solusyon din sila nadidiscover.

brader, maybe this might be helpful for you, and for those who are experiencing that "bugging, taktaktaktak" sound in your mitsus 4g92, 4g63, 6a12 engines or later.
