Hello all!
I am in desperate need of help!
I have a new engine combo this year and, it’s been fighting, to say the least!
I was having a rattle under load, which seems to have been a lifter failing.
To confirm this, I have switched to solid lifters.... and am having a nightmare of a time!
I followed the procedure in my repair manual, for setting solid lifters. Ran ok, but was ridiculously noisy (much more than I’ve ever heard solids before!). So, I reduced lash by 0.002” and tried again. Ran better, still too noisy! Again, dropped 0.002” and it’s much quieter... but would seem I’ve got an irregular miss!
Is anyone running solid lifters? What is your lash set at?
I’d very much like to get rid of the roller lifters and just run hydraulic with stamped rockers... but, when I installed the stock ones, they were hitting the studs near full lift... need a pushrod length change in order to use them.
