Default Re: Is there a good chemical to quiet lifter in my '51 Lincoln flathead

Putting a chemical in to quiet a noisy lifter seems more like what would be done to quiet a hydraulic lifter that was collapsed or sticking. In my somewhat limited experience with these flatheads a noisy one most would most likely need to be adjusted to quiet it down.
