Hi - Anyone know of a trustworthy engine mechanic that they've used? I live near downtown Denver and would like to bring my Ranger in to have the engine overhauled or replaced. Thanks! Al

So I've read somewhere on TRS that since our rockers aren't adjustable, the only way to take out slack in the valvetrain is to replace pushrods with very slightly longer ones. I believe it may have been Big Jim M. He also suggested that it's rare that a hydraulic lifter would go out at 120K...
