Well I have a weird sort of marble sound from my engine, previous owner told me a valve was loose. Was going to adjust my valves but I read in the FSM that there hydraulic. What's a trusted site where can I buy adjustable valve rockers for my '89 240SX.

Duck tape solves everything

Then I'll just have to buy new hydraulic ones

Ok well you may think this is a dumb question I'm a newb my first car should I buy them online or go to the dealer and ask? Found only one site so car and I'm just going to change them all (just incase) and for all of them its about $120. Think it'll be more expensive from the dealer?

116k miles and quick question the rocker arms are sold each one? Now I'm thinking about it I see prices $30 for each one and I doubt $120 for all of them but the site I'm looking at doesn't specify.

I feel the same way but I need the SOHC till i get the money for a better engine. I need it to go to school and work and to hang out sometimes.
