Awesome video! I need to do this to my '93 when I take it back out this spring. The lifters were seeing their end days before I stored it for this winter😂
Usually I just use zip ties or something to keep the belt teeth in the same place, then verify nothing moved when I am putting everything back. Generally it's just a game of counting teeth on these and checking the marks just to verify it's all good. Making sure the engine is TDC before taking things apart makes life easier when verifying.
Hi, Thank’s, i ‘ve to do the same thing. I just removed the valve cover but i’m blocked with the cam. Before to take-off the pulley you do not make marks on the belt and pulleys? Thank you for your answer, i have my head in the engine 😂
Dude that was awesome, best video Ive seen for a small project like this! Only question is if you do go with new lifters do you have to do any other form of valve lash adjustments??
Not with this project. The hydraulic lifters take up slack automatically assuming there isn't damage. If it was an NB or other solid system you need to check the shim tolerances.
Great Video and clear explanation, i have a qn to ask, Made a mistake mixed my lifters together, its hydrolic lifters for elantra j2 1997, how do i get them to be at the right platform or how will i know which ones are for the exhaust and which its for the intake
You can see he put zipties on the cam gears to keep the belt from jumping any teeth if the belt moves you'll be forced to retime the motor, so this job is possible without having to retime the motor as long as you just put zipties thru the cam Gear & over the belt so it can keep the belt in the correct time
If they are filled and ticking, you may need to let them run a bit. It could also be a little air in them or you could have play elsewhere. It could also be the oil you're running combined with how worn your valve train is. You can make guesses by how bad the ticking is, if it changes with temperature or oil pressure, etc.
You have done a righteous installation with that rebuilt engine. Did you built it yourself, or buy a short block? I have a 1.6L Miata, and I only rarely have a little lifter tick, and then only at start up. Frequent oil changes (around every 6,000 miles or every 12 months which ever comes first) keeps a fresh load of detergent in the oil. That may be what keeps my lifters rather free running.
It was a rebuilt short block the girlfriend sourced and we prepped. I think they either didn't prep the lifters when they did it or it just sat forever in a warehouse before we got it. Either way, it's great now. Maintenance is definitely a key.
