Tommorow I am going to Mitsu to go and pick up some parts and was wondering how much lifters would cost me too, since mine like to tick for 10 minutes... thick oil helps but in the winter I cant run thick oils...

So anyway what are the best lifters adn will they fit a 91 awd turbo head? I have heard somewhere that the 1998 lifters have the biggest openings but I may be wrong... are these parts interchangeable with 1G or 2G heads?

Thanks in advance.. I hate lifter tick... oh and Idle surge too. :wacko:

1999 turbo lifters...same that the turbo 3/S's use. I believe the '99 lifters have replaced the part # for all year DSM's.

Yea so I went on Conicelli's parts site and the 91 lifters are 30 bucks a piece! $#%^

So thats a negative... as I would need 16 of them... thats around 500 bucks total...

All of them may not tick though but i would want to replace them all.. but if anyone knows which are best Id still appreciate it.

Thanks

Search DSM-Talk, they had a thread posted where they were available for about $7-8 each.

Also do a search about collapsed lifters. The 3g lifters are having a bit of a problem with that. I think the 2g ones are probably the best compromise.

The one shop I used to work at made parts for Eaton. Lets just say that I was not impressed! Their tolerances were terrible.

Thanks guys, I think Im going to stick with my lifters and just run a thicker oil... I think ill go back to Castrol Syntec... because Mobil one is just too thin. Can I run 10-40 in the winter?

There also usually gets to be a burr in the oil hole. Find a drill bit that just fits in the hold from the back side and get rid of the burr. I have a full drill bit set if you want to find the right drill bit (like 116 pcs).
