Hi all, I thought my engine had a tapping sound and decided to give a go on the lifters.
I removed all them, opened, cleaned, reassembled and submerged in oil and force it up and down to load it.
Put it back and sounded louder. Improved by the time I was driving but I don't think it made any difference in the end.
ANYWAY... questions are:
1- I put the plunger oil hole OPPOSITE to the body oil hole. Is that wrong? Should they be on the same side? Makes no difference?
2- When putting the lifters in the engine do I have to try to keep the oil hole in a specific position? (up, down)? I thing they rotate in there but...
Thanks.
