I am actually on my second engine flush. I have used some Marvel Mystery Oil and now I have 2 quarts of Rislone in fresh oil. I have only run the car for about 2 hours total with the Rislone, (I am not able to drive it much, no tags yet) and I don't think this problem will flush out. The last owner must have neglected the hell out of this car.
I just ordered the cam alignment tool, new Teflon seal rings and 2 new vanos bolts. I found 24 new lifters on e-Bay for about $70 but at that price I am skeptical. They show the right part # of 11 33 7 548 690 along with many others that these are supposed to be compatible with. Has anyone bought the cheap e-Bay lifters before?
