I have a 1983 pininfarina spider with 45K miles. There is a moderate amount lifter noise when the engine is running. Is this normal? Are there any additives that can be helpful?
Thank you

Re: Noisy lifters
They do make noticeable noise when adjusted properly, but if they aren't adjusted properly snake oil won't help. Valves should be checked/adjusted every 15k, so a adjustment may be due.

Re: Noisy lifters
fiat 124 doesn't have valve lifters, if that's what you are talking about
