Holger, some 98+ 3.2/3.5 owners report a "valvetrain tick", but it is NOT due to the hydraulic lifter issue common on pre 1998's. Can't get a noise from something you dont have! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Lucus is my friend. Errr, not the person. The product. I love the stuff. Have you ever tried it on your ice cream? I also put it in my crank case, diffs, transmission, power steering pump. It is really weird stuff. But it has solved alot of problems for me. Leaky, whiny power steering, tappy lifters, and fuel system woes. My '93 3.2 (136,000) is not a race horse by any means. But since I have owned it (two months) It has seemed to be running more quiet, idling better, and just cruises down the road and up the hills.

Oh, and heres a plug for Sea Foam. I am a loyal fan. It is lots cheaper than Lucas. And is also excellent... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
