How do you unstick a valve?

its hard to tell but it sounds like its a bad lifter. try doing what i posted earlier

It is in the top end.... What does unplugging the injectors do?

I am leaning toward lash adjusters for sure.... Can anyone verify.

When you unplug the injector it is going to single out the bad cylinder. you sould hear the sound change when your on the bad cylinder. this way you know what lifters to replace. once you figure what cylinder it is take the valve cover off. and inspect the rockers none of them should flop around.

How noticable is the sound change? Is there a writeup on the replacement of the adjusters? How many adjusters per cyl?

Definately some clearence in the valvetrain area.

One per valve.2 per cylinder on yours.

the change in sound should be noticable. it may not be a huge difference but should be enough to tell. now remeber this is just an idea of whats wrong with your car. becuase i have seen it before,but its been rare.

Well I had an oil starvation issue. The pickup got clogged up... i am going to replace the pump/pickup... I wonder if that will make the adjusters snap back out? The lash adjusters are $8 each.. Multiply that by 32.. wow..
