Just finished head rebuild and need help

[L'ville]

Okay i got my head back from the shop they put in new valve seals, springs, stainless steel valves and did some porting and cleaning and resurfecing. Quick question... do the lifter/rockers have to go back the same place they were or is it okay to mix em up cause i notice some have bigger opening while other have smaller opening.

The lifters should all have the same size opening. How much of a difference is there?

 

[L'ville]

huge difference some have a really big whole while others have very small holes..

 

[L'ville]

the rockers look the same just the lifters look very diffrent.

Maybe you have some revised lifters mixed in with some of the old style ones. Take a pic of them.

 

[spoolup]

willing to bet that dream on is correct. I have actually seen this before. does it look like: http://www.vfaq.com/proj-pics/lifters/lifters-01.jpg if so you have a mix.

 

[L'ville]

yeah that is exactly how they look like!

You have some old and some revised lifters, I do not knowif its good or not, but I would swap out all the old style for new revised lifters, there are a few links here that can get you pretty good costs. Just have to search a bit. Sorry I could not be of much more help.

Who in their right mind would only replace just a few of the lifters. Here are a few links for ya. A few of our vendors carry them also.

slowboyracing.com has a good price on the revised lifters also...i think there like $150 for a set.
