Need socond opinion

I have a 89 b2 2.9 with ticking and oil presure issues. I have been researching this engine to know it better before I jump into a new engine or rebuild this one. My understanding is the pushrods on these motors are solid in that they dont have an oil hole from the lifter to the rocker arm, and that design does not allow the lifters to bleed off air, causing the notorious ticking b2. A set of new hollow pushrods and drilled adjusting screws would fix this issue. Has anyone heard of this before? If so do you know of anyone offering this type sutup as a kit for the diy'rs? Thank for any info.

Put a 4.0 in it and skip the 2.9 headache. The end result will be much better.

Yeah, that sounds like the general consensus when it comes to problems with a 2.9...

Drop in a 4.0, and lavish in the awesome 155hp it gives! lol

Dude, the B2 loves the 4.0. With the minimal effort it takes to install, its the easiest performance enhancement for the b2
