saysomestuff 0 Posted June 27, 2006 Hey guys, bit of a simple one for you: I'm in process of rebuilding a head and two of the hydraulic lifters have play in them, a, can they be rebuilt? or b, is there a particular process for replacing them (i.e. can i just oil up two newuns and slap em in?) Finally, is a skim of the head always necessary? I've run a straight edge and feeler guage along the face and it's within the Haynes tolerances.

Henny 0 Posted June 27, 2006 slap in a new set of lifters and have done with it... if 2 of 'em are either compacted or have play in 'em they're f'ed - It's best not to mix and match lifters though, I'd advise always using a complete new set if you have to replace any... Head skimming is only needed (and should only be done) if the head is warped due to heat/incorrect tightening/releasing or has any imperfections on it from where a leak has been. Otherwise, if it's within tollerance, bolt it back on... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
