So heres the story.. I was speeding about 2 months ago and bam I thought my motor blew, but it was my lifters.. Anyways I towed it home and like 2 weeks later replaced about 4 lifters.. I didn't check the oil or anything because I thought it was good.. Anyways a couple days ago it starting making this knocking noise and I checked the oil and the dipstick wasn't even at the minimum point so I added 3 quarts of oil and it still didn't read anything.. So I didn't drive my car for a couple days and changed the oil and added some oil detergent.. Anyways the noise is still there and we think its the lifters.. I don't want to buy all 16 of them and replace them all and that end up not being the problem.. What do you guys think it is..? Click to watch the video.

Haha for real.You can try resending them.I'll give you my address again in pm.

But yeah pop the pan and see if you spun a bearing.06blackbalt's 2.2LT sounded identical to that and he spun out rod bearing 1.

Friday night this turbo rx7 called me out. A little back ground on the driver. He use to own a srt4 that was a close race between me and him when I was on 91 and meth. Well he sold that and got the rx7. He raced the srt4 and beat him so I was next. Well rx7 is 13b with meth. Don't know what psi. But from a 40 I pulled hard by the end of fourth I was like 6-7 cars ahead.
