Rebuild valve lifters or buy new ones?

Also: Aluminum or Tri-Metal connecting rod bearings?


I've never rebuilt a lifter because they're wear items on every engine I've rebuilt, but I'd go with tri-metal bearings because they're tougher and better for performance applications. If I was expecting to go 150,000 miles between rebuilds, I'd go with aluminum.

I'll set the building on fire
Don't know about the lifters, but I generally use tri-metal bearings in builds. ACL race or King XP would be good choices if they are available. I used acl race HX (.001 extra clearance) rod bearings and some regular oem type mains, which is what the machine shop gave me. Going on like 70k since then.

e- King cr505xp?

Tri-metal. Aluminum in something you don't give a poo poo about/need to get running again.


Clean/test lifters. check for wear. fail? replace.

Generally its good to have new lifters to a new cam, etc.

^^^^^
He has a pretty common name, so it doesn't come up when you google him. Lucky. He's on the sex offender registry though.

The quote was "Imagination is more important than knowledge." -- einstein.
Which didn't really tip anyone off.

(I am at my parents house tonight and my high school yearbooks are literally on a bookself in my old bedroom.)

Edit: googling him and sex offender comes up with a lot, but I wouldn't have thought to google that. He was apparently caught in one of those online sting things.

It's pretty clear at this point that the people immediately behind Trump are using him to forward their agenda, get it nice and entrenched, then let him hang himself with all the poo poo he spews. He gets impeached, President Pence, nobody pays up on American jobs or any of the other benefits promised by Trump, because that was the last President's promises.

Yep, secret heater works great, there is a thermistor built in to the float unit that was bad. I replaced that (the float assembly) and everything works fine now... nice and steamy. If you didn't see the update, I got a link to a service manual and the heater is built in to the pump assembly.
