I had some issues with the oil on a used S90. The
rear seal was replaced and the mechanic flused the engine. Now it makes this awful noise that mechanic said are the lifters. I want to have them replaced, but I can only find them at the dealership where they have to be special ordered. What is the technical name for them and can I find them online?

Hi there,

They are called hydraulic valve lifters, you should be able to get them on line with out much trouble.
