Re: HVLA swap?

Hi Kevin
Are the HVLs ticking loud just recently? I will assume thats why you want to replace them?
But I will suggest change the engine oil or trying to clean the engine with MMO or AutoRx first. Or if its time to replace the timing belt, you might want to check the screws behind the oil pump.
BTW, how is the Nissan MAF I sold you a while ago holding up in the car?

The space looks pretty tight between the frame rails, but I did see an article here about replacing the valve cover gaskets. Just don't want to open a 'big can of worms' by attempting it, then finding out there's something I didn't account for.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
