I've got the same noise, I think it's either a lifter or a very small
pre-cat exhaust leak. Just how easy is it to change lifters? What is the
diagnostic process, simply place the stethescope on the rocker arm cover?
I'm not mechanically adverse, pretty handy actually, if I do say so myself
:-), but don't have access to a garage...
Later,
Jon
