As I was recently doing a jug and slug transfer on my 2056. As I rotated the engine one of the lifters slid out and landed in the box. When I picked the lifter up it appeared to have come apart, I push the part back down in. Are solid lifters empty in the middle, no springs or ball like the hydraulic?
1. Should they all be replaced? 2. I have a brand new set of CB performance solid lifters, will they work if same spects? 3. Should I just replace that one. 4. I kind of wanted to show up for Carlisle in a Porsche.... I have faith I can accomplish this. Especially with all the knowledge on this 914 world. Matt |

Lifter is likely fine. Do the test that Mark mentioned.
If the lifter is not fine - be 100% sure to get lifters that match your cam's hardness. Don't just use the CBs. Take to the cam maker (likely Elgin or Web) and get the lifters that they recommend. When the cam goes flat, that's an entire engine teardown to replace it. Zach |
