How to fix sticky lifter.

Well first and foremost you really need to find out what the real problem is FOR SURE. I've gotten lucky and change the oil and sometimes it needs to be changed a couple times like earlier stated to clean out the impurities that stick these lifters. This was something I thought you could do easily or have done cheaply before you start ripping stuff apart. It was likely the bad suspension that did in the last set of tires, Iv'e yet to get an A-body that didn't need front suspension work.
a word of advice : be nice and thankful and people on this forum will bend over backwards to make sure you get all the help you need. Keep an open mind and take it all with a grain of salt. And as far as I go I'll try and help no matter what because I like the cars in some cases more than the people.
