Re: Lifters bleeding down fast - what could cause this? RR install

Well if it was explained to me correctly, after eating Rally's you do have to run.....to the toilet I must have been immune.

Well let me know guys, I'll send this link to Grease and see what he has to say, but I cant really drive my car much while its like this. My open days are MON/TUE/THUR/FRI. I am still thinking about doing them in the parking lot today, if I can get motivated.

I wish I had an Aries to drive around

I have heard this method only works with the stock cam but I dunno. MAybe because of the duration being different. Anyway I went through the same problems when my lifters went bad. I bent a hardened pushrod at the track and was because of misadjusted lifter because of bad lifter. So replaced them with some crane stock replacements and now no probs. But you can beat your head in the wall if lifters are bad you will never get them right.

I spoke with Joel from Rathmotorsports (now becoming GMR Speed) and had him take a look at the setup hoping for resolution. He readjusted them and they seem to be fine now. Not sure what they were acting up on Saturday, but SAT was a fugged up day anyways, wind, rain, sleet, snow, and odd acting valvetrain. Thanks guys.

Re: Lifters bleeding down fast - what could cause this? RR install

Yup the leak is next, I just couldnt stand the ticking anymore, so I drove to Cleveland yesterday. I needed to go for my G/F anyways so the trip had dual purposes. Thanks again to Waswa, Jonny, Aaron, Jason, and Joel for all your hard work and help. I am so glad it wasnt lifters.

Whens the first day 42 is open?

BTW the car pulls very nicely now, rev's effortlessly, and my butt-o-meter is pleased

Ask Waswa what he wants for the valve seals? I can send some cash paypal to him.

42 should be open tonight, tomorrow, friday, sat, and sunday from here out. Disassembled my car last night so i'm not ready now.


Waswa said don't worry about the valve seals.
