Since it appears to be a major challenge to adjust valves do most people go with hydraulic lifters when it comes to rebuilding an engine ? Its my understanding hyd. cams and lifters suffer with performance in these engines.
Is there an easy way to determine if an engine has hyd. lifters besides pulling a rocker arm, push rod, and then pulling a lifter out ? |

Is there an easy way to know if my engine had hydrolic lifters installed ? The engine has been rebuilt in 1993 and I have no other information. It's a 75 1.8 and the case has no number stamped... Could this be a bus case ?
I have experienced loud knocking at idle for a few seconds. That happens when the car sitted a few weeks without running. It mainly happens when the weather is cold (around zero C). The car also runs on 2 or 3 cylinders a few minutes when cold and smokes a lot. Is this related ? When hot, it runs great. The cat has been removed and it runs with a Bursch muffler. I have dynoed it at 79 HP If lifters are hydrolic, must clearence be set to zero ? |
