Im sorry. I should have listed all the info..

Engine/Trans/Body has 119k miles.

I bought the car for $1650 back on July 11th, I love the car, Inside and out is extremely clean.

The fluid was actually terrible looking, resembled oil very much but every week for two weeks now, I have been siphoning a quart out from the dipstick reservoir and then pouring a new quart in... Its not quite a red color yet but its getting better looking..

Recent work I've done myself in the past week or two would be ..

Oil change
New Oil filter
New Air Filter
New Water pump
Radiator flush and new antifreeze
New Tires
I bought new spark plugs but haven't installed them yet, I'll be doing this tomorrow.


I believe I need to put new lifters on it as well.. Its making a ticking sound and im almost positive its the lifters.. Does anyone know off hand how much new lifters would run and how hard the job would be ? Pretty sure the front is easy, just remove the cover and install new, but the back lifters ?? I have to to rip half the engine apart huh ?

thanks fellas, I appreciate your help so much !!
