He has another YouTube video where a vehicle with an engine 'tic' comes in. Previous shop replaced the belt, water pump, idler & tensioner. Removing the belt reveals the tic is still there. He feels the tic is a lifter and says the solution is to replace the lifter, cam and oil pump as metal parts of the failed lifter probably went into the oil sump were picked up by the oil pump and probably ended up in the oil filter. Head needs to come off to replace the lifter.
With over 200K on the clock he says maybe time for a replacement engine.
Seems a lot for a failed lifter. What about just replacing the failed lifter and saying that's as good as it needs to get for an engine with over 200K on the clock.
I did not hear him say he would cut apart the oil filter looking for remnants of the failed lifter. Might be there if oil had not been changed since the lifter failed.
