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 during that time. Just to be sure they are ok for...

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 wonder if i can put the original "cup" on the new...

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 the all have enough oil inside to be perfectly...

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 mes nouveaux poussoirs avec leur gorge un peu plus...

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 result should be not enough preload for my...

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 ?
