Problem for Oldsmobile 2001 Aurora

Lifter noise




By rexbeck49 on Jun 25, 2008

" "
I bought an 01 Aurora 3.5 . Engine has good compression, good oil pressure, noisy lifters. Removed all lifters, soaked in gumout overnight, compressed and released them to loosen them up, then reinstalled them in engine. Noise is still there, no change. Do these lifters wear out? engine has 120K miles

-   I also developed a lifter noise in my 99 Aurora.
Olds Dealer said it was because I used 5-30W, not 10-30W in the last oil change(100 miles ago).They changed to 10-30 and told me to drive awhile. Apparrently here in Ga when days can get to 90+ it can damage engine.
Not sure what to do now.

If the engine runs good and has high mileage, it might be the timing chain guides that are worn out
