i changed the lifters in my motor the other day cause one was a bit "ticky" when first started in the morning and much to my amazement when i put the new lifters in and bolted the rockers/pushrods up and tentioned them down to the right tourque setting but i noticed that some of the rockers were actually loose and crossflows rockers should have load on them and be firm?anyway this made me wonder and i just thought maybe they hadnt "pumped" up?i did soak the new lifters for 2 weeks in a container before fitting so i thought id just run it for a while and see.
anyway on start up the motor was very noisy and i took it for a 20km drive to see what would happen but the noise didnt go away???
i took the rocker cover off and still found some of them loose?anyway the only way i thought of fixing it is to gently file some of the rocker pedistool off and keep checking them until there what they should be,i have done a couple and the noise is alot better but this is a slow tedious job.
has anyone ever gone through this before?what did you do?i thought adjustable pushrods would fix it or maybe roller rockers,id like to spend little money so maybe filing off the pedistools is the go?
