it may be due to too much sediment/sluge/gunk getting built up, next time you change your oil, try a fully synthetic, or a synthetic blend, and ask your local auto parts if they have anything that can clean it out. unless you know engines fairly well however i wouldn't suggest attempting to replace it yourself, because its a fairly complicated process. hope this helped : )

1996 Z28 350 makes a chirping noise from engine sound like its from rocker arms or lifter area?

Probably a sticking lifter; put in a can of RISLONE every time you change oil for the next few times; that should do it if it is just a minor problem. A chirping noise can also be a defective drive belt. I haven't heard of a chirping noise before, but I've heard of lifter tapping. If it's just some light lifter tapping, add some Lucas oil stabilizer next oil change. This is really good stuff that adds extra lubricants and protectants to the oil for better engine performance and durability. Adding this to your oil should take out any light lifter noise or tapping. I run this in my 94 Z along with full synthetic Mobil 1. They make the Lucas oil stabilizer in synthetic as well. Hope this helps you out.

87 Chevy S10 28l V6 and one lifter collapsed and warped the pushrod Can you just change that one bad lifter and do you have to take off the intake manifold to get the lifter out please help?

You can change just the one lifter, however you should determine why it went bad. The intake manifold must come off to get to the lifter. Is there advanced mileage? do you change the oil regularly? Seeing how it is an 87 vehicle, with 19 years of use on the engine, I would strongly suggest changing the full set. Be carefull though as there is the possibility on that engine of 2 different size lifter bores. If yours are oversized it will be stamped on the lifter bore (not on the lifter) 0.25mm 0.5 There should also be a white paint mark at the bore.

How do you read the oil dip stick?

Oil level should be taken when the engine has stood still for some time, better over night, to allow oil in the upper level to sink back into the oil sump. Wipe the dip stick and push it into the pipe from which it had been removed initially. Pull the dip stick out and inspect the oil level. There should be a minimum and a maximum level marked on the dip stick. If the oil level is near the minimum mark, add more oil, but don't pour too much oil in.
