how do u get a lifter to pump up without removing the engine and taking off the head!!!! i kneed a cool trick if anyone has one.

 

Crank the motor to get good oil pressure for a few seconds (like 3- 15 sec cranks)

 

how would that help?? it get better oil pressure when it is running

 

What exactly is your question?? pumping up lifters is filling them with oil.

Do you mean pop out? like remove? If so then heads have to come off EOS.

 

right i need to get them to fill up with oil they are tapping

 

you take off the IGN fuse and fuel fuse and crank it.. right predator-z? i thought that was what you told me last time.

 

Umm. If you say they are tapping, you mean with the engine running. In that case they are probably pumped up. You may want to look for a problem, like a bent pushrod.

 

yeah, or just unhook coilpack and fuel pump fuse.

 

ya i tried that and it didnt work. the only lifters tapping are the driverside,1,3,5,7. could this just be that oil is possibly being blocked from getting to that side, and if so do u know where it might be plugged?

 

How did they start making noise?

Did you miss a shift?

Have you had the motor apart?

Have you made any changes?


Hard to answer your question without further information, but if the noise came out of nowhere I would pull the valve cover and check the pushrods for starters.

 

ya i threw a rod and i bought a new long block to put in it, it has been tapping just on the one side ever since it only does it when it is completely warmed up

 

I have the same problem on my Hawk. I installed the parts listed below with new lifters and it only tapps after its been running for like 20minutes. Some say I have to check the preload on the lifter others say to go with a heavier weight. What should i do?
