| RE: Noisey Hyd. Lifter |

| I once rebuilt a hyd lifter 289.....was cheap and didn't want to replace the cam or lifters, so I dismantled the lifters and cleaned them up. I used 4 different chemicals to soak and then scrub the lifter parts. I never had a lifter noise before, but they sure were built up with "varnish" after 150K org miles. I suspect you simply have a sticking lifter. Nail down which cylinder it is, remove the intake and take the lifters apart and seriously clean them. Will cost you only elbow grease, a few gaskets and silicone. If that doesn't fix it, you may be looking at new lifters....so a better cam might be wise at the same time...hmmm...did I say "wise"?...maybe I meant "fun". |
