I've inherited the dreaded ticking noise from under my passenger side valve cover. My friend is helping me fix the problem. After removing the valve cover, he was able to identify one of the hydraulic lash adjuster on #3 cylinder went bad and is the one causing the noise.
My question is:
Is there an inexpensive way to remove the HVLA without spending a ton on specialty rotunda tool?
Are there anything else I should be looking for while I have the valve cover off?
In the meantime, I guess I start by cleaning off all those years of carbon deposit residue.
