The original lifter doesn't have the small metal disc under the cap, and no hole in the cap as the new ones...

I think i will try this : change all my cups with the original ones : they match perfectly with the pushrods and they are a little less deep than the new one, so i don't need to shim the rocker arms...and i could put some oil in all the lifters...

Any advice about that ?

My new lifters and new cam need preload setting. I didn't change the pushrods , they are ok. I compare the new OEM with the original , it s quite the same (photos) except the size of the cup that hold the pushrod inside, it's larger and deeper. I...

Tanks , i read a lot about preload sequence, this one is new fo me ;)

i chek a third time the preload : half the lifter have 1,5 mm (ok) and the others 2 mm (slightly above tolerance)

Are you sure ? if i put shim under the arm the push rod will raise a little and the piston in the lifter too, so the gap decrease...

Something upset me about lifters : they should be primed with oil after 2 weeks in the oil, and some have much less resistance than others when i push the piston ...they dont have the same quantity of oil inside as they should. how ca i be sure...

Finally i have a 2mm (0,08") preload on almost my lifters. So a little above the tolerance. I should buy a shim kit...i need only the 0,03" set...if someone doesn't use this set , i'm very interested ;)

same for me !

Possibilité de mettre des entretoises, oui ;) Je viens de vérifier la précharge des poussoirs, ils sont dans la tolérance de 0,5 à 1,5 mm entre le circlip et le dessus du piston. Finalement entre l'épaisseur de mon joint composite et la forme de...

I v'e just put my new lifters and cam and keep the old pushrods that are in good shape. I notice the top of the new lifters is a little larger and deeper than the old one , about 1 mm, and my composite head gasket is thicker than the tin one. The...

I just hope i d'ont have a gasket leak near the water holes. I go under the engine, oil sump out, and moving the crank... it seems the bubble air sound is near or inside the autogearbox ? may be it's ok and i go paranoiac :vb-gémissement2:

60 NM ...i dont' think gasket moved. some water again in the block (water holes at the rear of the block) i did not flush after removing the heads...

I did'nt flush the block...but the air shoud not go in the coolant circuit ?

I'm dumb o_O Finished to torque to 90 NM and pull off the plugs...less resistance to turn the cranck of course (less than 25 NM), but still hear air mixed with water (like bubles sound) on the rear side of the heads.

i could try once i put back the pushrods ...

What upset me is that the air don't seems to go throw the cylinders but only at the rear of the heads as if i had a leak near the water port...and it makes a" bubble sound", dont know how to explain it. For instance I torqued the heads to 60 NM...

HI, I 've just put back my Heads (with spark plugs) with a new gasket (Elring composite). When i turn the crank , I need 40 NM torque and even more after first move, and i can hear compressed air coming out almost at the rear of the heads ... Is...

arrived today , very good quality indeed ! it's not a composite but called "soft metal"...may be the same. It's 1,4 mm (less one time compressed) and 0,15 mm more near the outerside of water hole (red line) , that s a great evolution because of...

I bought a Elring Fibre Composite gasket 916.059...can't found the tickness but it's not a tin one.

It s a non suffix B so it 's the "classic" torque sequence with standard bolt.

I have more than 0,05 on the 2 ends, my head is bowed at the center.ARP are too expensive and i 'm not confident with streched ones. I should use a composite gasket with new standard bolts...

I don't have enough material to mill thurther. I could try to straighten the head on the block with only the ends bolts and a A4 paper under the middle head...then I check the gap with my 0,05 mm gauge .

I read a lot of leaks at the ends of the heads (near water holes) even with elring composite HG ...frighten me a little.

Right i should change for Composite HG , and reuse my standard bolts...there still in good shape and not overtightened the last time.

i checked the head flatness with a special tool (300 mm ruler grade 00). All is under 0,05 mm gap EXCEPT the two ends where i found 0,08 mm difference (red part on the pictures) when I take the measurement with 300mm length of the ruler (from...

Thanks. My gasket is a tin one from Payen (not Erlring)

I have elring metal gaskets ;) I clean very well the threads and will be very careful in the torque...i have 14 bolts heads

I put the wrong photo. For a non suffix B engine its 23,9 mm and 63,5 mm . I get 23,30 and 62,80 with my vernier caliper...with 0,1mm precision ;)
