Hey, I am planning to do an oil change and I have a few questions. I am sure this has been covered before, so please bear with me. This is my first oil change since aquiring the car ~2000 miles ago.(I can't tell as I have a broken angle drive). Anyway, the owner said the oils had just been changed and the oil still looks golden brown--however, I am desperately hoping to get rid of a valve knock. The #4 valve is knocking. Marty and I adjusted the valves correctly and rechecked--the car sounds MUCH better than before. However, the #4 lifter is sticking, or something b/c that valve is noisy. I have tried additives with no sucess. So, I have heard of running a bit of kerosine in the oil for 5min at an oil change to clean it out. Anyone heard/tried this? Marty, you mentioned it. Can anyone give me a procedure. I am hoping that it will unstick the noisy valve. If this doesn't work, I guess I am looking at replacing the valve/lifter because I have tried everything else--i.e., the specs indicate the valve is properly adjusted. Any comments? Secondly, what is the capacity of refill of oil if I change the oil filter? I know it is somewhere around 7qts. Thirdly, I got a couple of cross reference filter numbers off the web. Any brands you can recommend? I heard some interfere with the "pressure sending unit". Of course, I have Marty's updated unit, so I'm not sure. Can Marty or anyone out there help me? Thanks in advance. Nathan E.
