The oil PSI runs up to about 30 max at high revs. Im running valvoline 20w50 synthetic. I have no leaks or drips. I have a dead cylinder and its the middle one on the left bank. Sparky is fine. Ill have to do the injector check. Boy, I sure hope its just an injector because this Monty is just too nice and Ill have to fix it.
The beat up valve stem was on the other bank of cylinders and the motor is quiet lifter wise.
Yea, the guy( mitsu shop)who did the head job short cut on replacing the lifters.

Since I got this truck of a friend Ive replaced the following over the past 10000 miles and its a daily driver.

Brakes, cap, rotor, wires , plugs, water pump, timing belt,idler pulleys , front crank seal, alternator( just last month it crapped out). Now Ive just replaced...lifters, intake gasket, valve cover gaskets, thermostat, etc etc.
