Hello everyone. Went for a drive today and car ran great, stopped for fuel and when I started back up I heard a horrible rattle coming from cylinders 3 and 4 valve cover. After a tow home I found this. At least 1/4" gap from rocker to valve tip. I turned the engine over slowly and did get the rocker arm to slightly open valve. I thought how could a solid lifter collapse?
I also pulled the rockers and pushrod. The pushrod was not bent. I looked down the pushrod tube and saw 'C' clips on the lifters. Is there such a thing as solid lifters with 'C' clips? Thank's for the help. |

The lack of affordable rebuilders and drying up of spare parts is making engine swaps that much more do-able...and that much more attractive.
My vote is for the Honda K20Z3 with drive-by-wire. Massive support for those engines and easy peasy build to 200 wheel ponies. I'm wiring up a 2008 Civic Si with AEM Inifity 5 engine management as we type (we get ~230 wheel with cams and exhaust). |
