Slacker, how did you collapse ALL 12 lifters?

I'm thinking lifters or valve guides now.

**slacker69** · 09-09-2002, 02:29 PM

1/2 a pan of oil on a 100 shot

Update...

I'm really thinking lifters. I'm gonna tear down the top half of the engine once again. This will probably the the sixth time I've done this. I could do it blindfolded.

I hope that it is in fact a lifter and my problems will finally be solved.

Keith, I'll help you tear it down, we both know how much I love tearing things apart [img]smile.gif[/img] I just have problems with putting them back together!

That part goes where Racing [img]smile.gif[/img]

Pulled the intakes, rocker arms, pushrods and lifters.. HUGE thanks to Zach, I really appreciate it man..

5 lifters compressed EVERY easily.. A few of which I could compress the plunger all the way down. ALl the rest were SOLID STIFF!!

The car was run about 6 hours earlier to drain the fuel from the system to the lifters should have been pumped up.

I have them soaking in oil now, they've been soaking over night... I'll check them soon and see what the results are.. Chances are I'll be shelling out another $160 for a set of 8 lifters. THey sell them in 8 (GM) and I'll just have to pick 4 which I think are good.

Just checked them.. after they soaked over night..

3 of the plungers I still could compress with my own hand/palm power using a stock pushrod.

I have them all sitting on a piece of wood now and will check the batch of good ones to see which bleed down.

A set of 8 lifters is about 160 through GMPartsdirect.. no way I'm ordering 2 sets, I have 12 lifters. Chances are I'll order 8 and then pick 4 from the set that don't bleed down.

np keith. i was glad i could help. i was glad i could get an indside look at my motor without tearing mine apart, hahaha. im glad we found something though, if we did all that and found nothing wrong i was gonna be pissed, as you also im sure.

have you ever checked to see if the valve springs are binding?? this post could be a little late cuz i didnt read the whole thread, but i know of some big name companies that send out stuff that doesnt work together...Esslinger, they specialize in 4 cylinder Fords for circle track...the valves springs they send you with their cam kits bind w/the use of the bigger cam,

I've been reading this stuff but I know nothing about it, sorry for no suggestions :(

**Spray'dV6** · 09-18-2002, 07:13 PM
