off the road etc
Doug, The SVX is off the road because I lost the ring and pinion in the front differential. Which kinda annoyed me because I had just rebuilt the transmission including the small gears etc. in the front diff. I found out afterwards that I also had about 25psi compression in cyl #5. So it's in pretty tough shape.
The engine and transmisson are out of the car. The engine is in storage and the transmission is at my house with the rest of the car.
I agree that lifter noise can often be cured by replacing the oil pump. On the 1.8 and 2.7 engines the oil pump seals would often start letting air by. The resulting tiny bubbles in the compressed oil would allow the lifters to compress slightly and tick.
Jay
