Hi Paul! got a dumb question, why NOT the Type 'F' ATF ??what would it do ?? Thanks Dan melnik ---- randalpark@xxxxxxx wrote: ============= Sometimes adding a pint of ATF (but not Type F) to the oil will help clean or dislodge dirt that may be causing the lifter to hang up. That said, if the engine needs work, additives won't fix the problem.

This may clean stuff enough to allow you to remove the lifters if they are stuck due to gunk . ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Dimitriou" To: mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: IML: LIFTERS Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2007 09:11:47 -0800 (PST) Invert car, shake vigorously.

Hopefully it applies to Mopars as well. I need to replace the lifters in my straight 6 cyl. '63 Ford(!) Falcon, but they don't pull out with a magnet; they pull up about 1/8" and hit some kind of stop. Pulling gently on them with needle-nosed pliers won't budge them. Does anyone know what the trick is to getting them out? thanks Bruce S _________________________________________________________________________ ___________ Never miss an email again! Yahoo!
