Verifying valves are set properly and I can't adjust one of the exhaust valves past zero lash without tremendous effort. The associated pushrod doesn't budge. None of the others are that way. Do I need to pull the lifter or is there a chance I can run it at zero lash for a few minutes and try adjusting it again without hurting anything?

For Fuchs sake. 2 hours trying to remove a damned pushrod tube only to dent and mark it up horribly. It spins but moves maybe 1mm. Wtf?!! I'd just break the thing in half but I'm afraid it wouldn't do me any good. Why is every job on these cars worse than the last?
-Edit- Finally got it out by sticking a socket extension down the tube so as not to completely crush it with the vice grips. Wish I had done that to begin with. I also got the lifter out. All parts look good, and no abnormal wear. Cleaned it up I will install tonight it's soaking in oil but I'm skeptical as to if that does anything at all besides coating the outside with oil. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) There's no way to get them fully or even partially pumped up after assembly that I can see as doing so requires opening the check valve which when assembled, you can't access. If you pump them up before fully assembling you can't compress them in order to put the retaining spring on. Does anyone know what kind of lifter this is? I'd love to look up the manufacturer's recommendations.  |
