I'm putting together a used motor and am darn close to out of money. The cam 'looks' OK, but the lifters are slightly dished. Do I:
1. Put new lifters in it? 2. Regrind the old lifters (I have and extra set that are shot too... so I could pick and choose the best for the regrind) 3. Run 'em and try to forget about it (gonna be really, really hard to do) Opinions? -Aaron |

Here is what I am thinking.
If your lifters are dished.. the cam is smoked. And so are the lifters. And what do the cam bearings look like? For that matter... what does the rest of the engine internals look like? is this the only issue the engine has internaly? SO What cam do you need? 1.7, 1.8, 2.0? Lets see if any of us can come up with a cam and matching lifters for you on the cheap or free.. cause ya just never know!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Clayton |
