I just bought a 1991 Volvo 240 4cylinder 2.3L with 154k miles that has some lifter noise?

Is this a easy way to repair this? Are the lifters adjustable? Any suggestions to quiet the noise down or anything? I don't see any leaks or notice any difference when driving.

Someone told me that this engine has a overhead cam and doesn't have lifters. Is that true? If so what could this, that sounds like lifters be?

 

Get them shimmed at a local shop or borrow the kit from IPD, also there is a little bushing under the bucket that likes to disintegrate after a few years in service, can replace those and it will quite the "lifters" down. There actual name is valve tappet or cam follower, but for all intensive purposes they are basically lifters.

 

Ok I did some more reading and I heard changing the valve hushers might help. I called my Volvo dealer and they did not know what that was but they sent me a picture.

Can anyone determine which part is the valve husher descibed in this article is

it's number 5 in the attached picture ... hopefully the dealer can find the part number.

 

I got the part number. Its 35144332 Of course none of the dealers stock them. Any ideas how long it should take to replace all 8?

probably about 2 hours, You have to remove the timing belt, or at least take it off, remove the valve cover, remove the cam, pull the buckets, and then reverse put it back together.

 

Hey my 86 240 wagon does make the same noise and I was wondering if it was time for a valve job?

I used different injectors from a 740 and noticed the clicking noise from the valves stopped and only the injector clicking was audible...what gives?
