..but my 3/4 chevy van with 4.8l has been having a lot of lifter noise in this cold. Some say it's normal, but hadn't happened in years past, sure it's colder this year. But then it started doing when the engine was hot, after turning off for a few minutes then starting again. Bad clack, enough that I shut it down. Against my better judgement started it again to nurse it home, drove about 5 miles at 20mph, clacking all along, and the oil pressure was half normal, about 18-20lbs, when the noise stopped and oil came back up. Went to a good mechanic I know and he said he would bet it was the Lucas Oil I keep in it. I've always bragged about how good I think Lucas is, but in this case, my mechanic was right. Changed the oil, added no Lucas, and it's been fine the last two days, in the coldest weather of the year, -14 in the morning, no warmer on the engine, and no clack at start up even. I think the Lucas may have been getting cold and thickening up in the filter or something.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
