More engine help!
I need some info on the previously posted engine help.
I had inquired the best way to adjust some hydraulic roller lifters.
The helpfull guy said to run the engine at idle and adjust them out till I hear them clatter and then run them in till the sound goes away. I tried it several times and found if I adjust them till they make low noise the valves are hanging open and loosing compression in the cylinder.
I ran a compression tester and loosened the valves till the compression came back up and started the engine. Very noticable valve noise.
I had stated I soaked them in oil before installation and ws told it was not nessesary. Could I of overpumped them or ?? Do I have to remove them and drain the oil out of them? It just seems 1/8 of a turn makes the engine run like crap. anybody?
