Bad Valve Lifter?, picture, suggestions… Posted by Savary [Email] (#1273) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Savary) on Tue, 17 Mar 2009 05:53:37 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I posted this over here too for more traffic.
I picked up this lifter or tappet, and the piston fell out.
The retaining ring let go and was laying inside the mushroom.
I think some hydraulic lifters don’t have the retaining ring.
Anyway, I checked all the others and they felt tight.
Except one of them, the piston felt looser than the rest (side to side play).
Should I replace this one, what about the others?
Is there a way to check the valve in the lifters?
They aren’t cheap, like $25 each…
Thanks
