Lifter Replacement

[illz]

im switching to the 3rd gen lifters to hopefully cure some crazy phantom knock. has anyone else done this? is it simple with 2 big screwdrivers for prying, per the vfaq?

[LightningGSX]

Yep

If they were lifters, this is not a v-8. HLA's.

they lift, i think that qualifies them as lifters

[JET]

Nope, lifters are actuated by pushrods. They are HLA's technically, hydraulic lash adjusters.

[LightningGSX]

Don't the lifters actuate the pushrods? :stick:

[illz]

here i thought they moved up and down under the rocker arm. you say tubor, i say potato

The lifters for the 4g63/4 dohc head only remove the excess play/slack in the rocker arm to cam & valve clearance. They do not lift. They are stationary in the head.

Also there not rockers, they are cam followers, they fallow the cam, they do not rock.

Pushrods rule! Even though most of you Sally types don't even know what they are. :stick:
