Subject: Should there be oil pooled around cam lifters / followers?


This is on an '89 2L non-DI turbo 9000 engine. I've pulled the camshaft cover off and each cavity where the lifters (followers) are is filled with oil. This engine has the internal oil supply for the lifters (ie, no external pipes). Should the lifters be in this oil bath or is there a leak somewhere? I can't tell from the Haynes manual. The reason I'm looking at the lifters is because I have zero compression in the #2 cylinder and I'm hoping that I've got either a stuck lifer or broken valve spring instead of a burned valve. I haven't pulled the cams off yet to check further. Thanks, Rod. -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
