Learned a new trick today

fogged306 · May 13th, 2008, 04:50 PM

In my quest to find a solid roller lifter to check PTV clearance, I was informed that You can take a hydraulic lifter and flip the plunger in it, effectively making it a solid lifter to check PTV with.... Just a little FYI for anyone interested, or didn't already know this.

ryans88gt · May 13th, 2008, 04:57 PM

alternatively you could just prime the oil pump directly before checking.

how much are you planning on selling that cam/injectors for fogged306?

fogged306 · May 13th, 2008, 05:36 PM

$250 for both and I'll include the shipping in that price. The cam is brand new, the injectors I bought used and have never installed them in my car, they are still in the packaging that I bought them in.. I'm going to say they need o-rings just to be safe as they have been sitting dry for over a year now in my closet.

Haha we all learn new things everyday/. Im 16 and I learned it about a year ago.

ryans88gt · May 13th, 2008, 10:54 PM

BTW if you flip the plunger it will be like 0.030" off.

fogged306 · May 13th, 2008, 11:08 PM

.030 high or .030 low?.. and how much of a +/- of .030 are we talking here?.. I might be cutting it close here so I don't want to be right on the edge and then end up being .030 too close and not know it.. any clarification will help.

Never in a million years would I have guessed you were 16.... also, thanks for reminding me that I'm over 10 yrs older and just learned that one today.

Why wouldnt you have guessed I was 16?

ryans88gt · May 14th, 2008, 01:08 AM

because you seem too experienced with anal to be only 16.

if you flip the plunger over it will be 0.030" to high as I recall. You'll be able to tell when you look at it.

take a hyd lifter add bb"s in it and makes great solid lifter for ptv..get a check valve spring..stock is easier to not do right first time by gettin in hurry,but add 2-3-4-5 grand to a motor and its better to do right..(ptv check)...
