It's a solid lifter motor. There's a thread about adjusting them somewhere on the sight. I really don't want to type out the whole thing again but if you can't find it I will.

ok thanks ill look for it i reallly wanna fix it aha

It takes longer to find it in the manual and type it out than it does to do the job. it's not hard but you have to be careful to get it right. I did mine about six or seven years ago and its still good, so it's not something you have to do often.

Nope! It sure won't! All that will happen is the WEAR from the slapping between the push rod joints will slow down.
