Re: Valve train Puzzle
So do you think its just a quality control issue with the lifters? There are several articles on-line stating its a crap shoot when you buy them due to the # of suppliers

Re: Valve train Puzzle
Lots of the lifters are made in China these days. I can't get US made solid lifters for a 235 six cylinder motor any longer. And yes, they do break.

How long had they been installed? Is there anything that might have contributed to lifter failure other than poor quality lifter? If so...what does Pete have to say about Mellings JB 2236 as they are as identical to stock lifters as you can get? Lifters Last edited by Dynomite; 06-06-2013 at 02:40 AM. |

Such that you had valve contact with pistons? I know it is close depending on head work, valve work, timing and Cams.....I had light (but you could see) eyebrows on all pistons on a set of heads not too long ago. Last edited by Dynomite; 06-06-2013 at 07:11 AM. |
