You don't know what is wrong....
Might be cheaper, and quicker, to diagnose it, then hunt for parts. |

Slight progress, but still rampant frustration.
I pulled the pushrod tube out to get to the lifter better. I can see it now, but still can't get it out with a magnet. I'm assuming that it should come out fairly easily, but I've been trying to coax it out for half an hour now. I guess (like Mr. Raby said) that it might be mushroomed. Here's a picture of how far I've gotten. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i921.photobucket.com-11654-1462985485.1.jpg) |

Another thing you can check now: Since the rocker arms are off (I assume you removed both sets?)
are the valve stems sticking out from the head the same amount? If the problem child is now shorter than the "good" one then you are dropping a valve seat and the valve is being held in too far. If you had a leakdown test kit, you could pressurize that cylinder through the sparkplug hole and see if you hear air escaping from the exhaust. |

Tools in the box,a steel rule and an air adapter.
Smoked the cam lobe,just like Jake deduced. Pull the block,split it,new cam,lifters,bearings. While you're in there..New p+c,a valve job. A look inside with a borescope will remove any doubt of the veracity of the diagnosis. Shop around for another block to install in it's stead,as it may be enefgee.

I should just toss my 911 engine in it.

 Yes you should,then install an LS7 into the 911. How could it be wrong,if it feels so right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) https://www.google.ca/search?q=ls7+911&...911&tbm=vid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) / |

QUOTE(ripper911 @ May 11 2016, 10:13 AM) I should just toss my 911 engine in it. Yeah, because that is a lot easier than fixing a four-cylinder engine.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) My advice: Fix your 911 or rent or borrow a car. Because a bad lifter is not something you can fix quickly at home on a gravel driveway after work. --DD |

Luckily I'm getting a deal on a VW kit car that looks like an old jaguar.
I've driven beetles most of my life, so I should be able to get it going pretty soon. I thought about fixing the 911 first, but the kit car has the possibility of being fixed cheaper. I never learned to work on the 911 myself, so that's another reason to do the faguar first. |
