I think I have a bad lifter and was going to replace them and I heard that you can swap in pt cruiser lifters, also this will make the valve train good to a higher rpm does anyone know if this is true/will work into a 2.0L sxt.

Only if you have a DOHC swapped in. With SOHC, you have to replace the rocker assy to replace the lash adjuster.

The PT followers (rockers) I believe are possibly what was being referred to. The lifters/lash adjusters are the same between the DOHC, and the 2.2/2.5 SOHC engines in the 80's - 90's cars.

So pt lifters will only fit in a DOHC head and if I had a DOHC head I would also have to put in rockers also?

You only need to replace the rockers on a SOHC head, as the lash adjuster is integral to the rocker.
