If you put quite a bit of pressure on the rocker on top of the valve, the clacking goes away and seems to run a bit better. We took out the lifter and cleaned it out. After putting it back on, nothing changed. What could be causing this? We're trying to sell the car and the noise is very unattractive. Thanks! Paul
