Is it because of the lifter length and its interaction with the pushrod? Ive also received conflicting info on once the free-play is removed from rod: some say to make a 1/4 tighten turn at rocker (so as prevent the valve from slightly being open) but most say to do 3/4 tighten turn. 0000102043 00000 n

It is my professional opinion (and I may be mistaken) that you are suffering a stack-up of tolerances. 0000065708 00000 n

In turn, it causes the valve to snap shut, preserving proper engine air pressure. Due to the effort required to replace a failed lifter, its wise to renew all of them. 0000088194 00000 n

Also, how did you set the preload? Air becomes trapped in the cylinders and is compressed on the upstroke instead of being expelled through the valves. 0000181073 00000 n
This will absorb some of the internal piston slap in the lifter and should change the sound. 0000046115 00000 n
Similar in operation to the hydraulic piston of a tractor bucket, engine oil flows to the cavity in the hydraulic lifter. 0000017979 00000 n
If the engine needs an oil filter with an anti-drain back valve and the one you are using does not have it, that can cause a noisy valvetrain on starting, especially with an OHC engine. The bad news is that multiple sensors and solenoids are involved in this kind of hydraulic lifter system. A solid lifter is precisely what it sounds like: a solid metal cylinder. 0000153456 00000 n

Acquiring shorter pushrods is straightforward, as custom-length pushrods are readily available but should not be required for an engine that is being repaired. Just coat the bottom of the lifter and the cam lobe with engine assembly lube. 0000234124 00000 n
Also, I am quite sure that the replacement pushrods and lifters, though correct, are of different lengths (albeit minor) than the factory parts. 0000229067 00000 n

There is no lash. For example, lifters on pushrod engines activate a rocker arm instead of directly pressing on the valve. 0000072238 00000 n

When the valve is closed the lifter is on the base circle of the cam (the round part of the lobe) and its cavity fills with oil. I have a Chevy 402 engine with cam lobes and lifters that dont match. 0000136471 00000 n

Ive tested for vac leaks, checked compression and done a number of things to try to remedy the situation. 0000048719 00000 n
Furthermore, as the parts wear from constantly colliding as the lash reduces, the performance of the engine degrades and emissions output is altered. There is severe metal-to-metal knocking noise in the 2 liter engine of my 2007 Nissan Xtrail. 0000053853 00000 n
0000186600 00000 n
Then, using a long extension 3/8-inch drive, push down gently on the rocker arm where it connects to the pushrod. The cavity is now replenished with oil. Its the profile of the camshaft lobe that determines the valve action, and that motion is first transmitted to the valve lifter and onto the pushrod and finally the rocker arm that contacts the stem of the valve. 0000114633 00000 n

Please make sure that the rocker geometry is correct by watching the orientation of the roller on the tip of the valve stem after you adjust the preload and before you close it up. 0000115271 00000 n

I do not want to jump to conclusions until I hear back from you with some answers but I think the issue may be with an injector(s) and not internal to the engine. 0000135366 00000 n
During the valve job, the seats were cut which affected the installed height of the valve. This locks the valve open temporarily, even under high pressure, so that gas can escape the cylinder. 0000138051 00000 n

This is the result of the multiplicative effect of the rocker arm ratio, which is the offset of the fulcrum from the rocker mounting. Does the extra length affect the distance from the plunger to the top of the pushrod?
