    Ok will definitely keep that in mind, i don't mind spending extra on tools if they will last a lifetime.

    Need help identifying noise

    Ok thanks a lot for the tips. I don’t have a stethoscope but will get one as soon as possible. I was researching to find similar noises and saw one that was making a similar noise and they said it was the lifters, could that also be a possibility?
