How do you adjust the lifter and valves on a 2001 Chevy Lumina?

In: Fuel and Engines

[Edit]

Answer

All engines in a 2001 Lumina use hydraulic lifters. These lifters are self adjusting. Lifter related valvetrain noise is most commonly caused by failure to replace the lifters after destroying them by excessive driving with water-contaminated oil.
