An update on my valvetrain problems. First off I want to thank everyone who gave me much valued advice. I tryed for quite some time to get the lifters out with the retractabnle magnet. I have low vision , especially where there isn't much light. My second mechanic ( wifey) found that the opening in the head was to small to get the lifter through it. She simply moved it over to the lifter beside it and it came right out. then got the second one out . But then could not get them rxactly in position to go back into the bores. So I finally found my 4 finger retrievel tool, modified it a little , and then she got the lifters back in. I then made a oil pump primeing shaft and WHOO-HAAA- I have oil pressure . I was worried cause there was pressure to only one side of the valvetrain.. More advice confirmed that I needed to rotate the canshaft a little to feed oil to the other side. I had another problem that I will give a tip on in another topic. Late this afternoon I got the engine started, but there is an upper loud pecking noise that I think is a collapsed lifter.. I will give the old Rislone treatment and see what happebs.. Thanks again all...................MO On Sep 10, 6:21 am, Mike & Deb <lefe...@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > The safest procedure in such a situation is to replace the lifters with > new units and treat the engine like it had a new camshaft ( break in ). > Mike LeFevre > > On 9/9/2011 1:57 AM, Ruth Gordon wrote: > > > > > enie meenie miney MO! > > > On Thu, Sep 8, 2011 at 8:17 PM, <Dodger7...@xxxxxxx > > <mailto:Dodger7...@xxxxxxx>> wrote: > > > two pushrods were popped out of the rockers > > > Mo,,,,,,,,,,, not to add heat to the can of dead worms,,,,,, > > but,,,,,,, what are you going to do if there are two lifters out > > of their bores,,,,,,,,, flip a coin to see which hole they get > > dropped back into? > > -- > > -- > > Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person > > -- directly to that person.
