Where to Get Lifters Replaced

[BLACK TALON95]

Anyone know where I can have the lifters on my 95 Talon replaced?

I live in Augusta, GA

 

[Vicious_mole]

well depending on you mechanic level, they are not hard to replace at all. search it im sure there are multiple threads on replacement of them. Im sure it will be way cheaper to do it yourself just a thought..

Lifter VFAQ

just a helper if youdeside to do it

 

[kenamond]

I followed the VFAQ article and then wrote up a more detailed one for this forum. Take a look at it (link below) and see if it's something worth your time/skill/knuckleskin. If not, you can take it to any reputable mechanic. I'd buy the revised (3g) Topline lifters and drop them off with the car.

If anyone knows of a source of the lash adjuster tool, that'd be awesome...makes changing the lifters about 10x easier.

I have a herniated disk, but I guess I can get my son to help me. I think it's about time he puts some of my well earn money I gave him to work.

Thanks for the help. Your link is alot more detailed and has better pictures. Love pictures!! I'll let you know how it comes out.

damn, I wish I knew about that tool! would have made my install a lot less frustrating..

 

[snowborder714]

Ya, it does look like it'd make installation a lot easier. I didn't know about it before today, but I'll definitely remember to pick it up before I clean or swap my lifters.

Yep! That's the one. But......$70?! I think 10 of us should pitch in $7 each and then trace out the shape and make 9 others. It's just a flat piece of steel with a handle.

Actually, we should make 90 others and sell them for $50/ea and make a cool $450/ea That'd buy my FP, AFPR and injectors!

If you've got $70 to spend, this will make lifter install a breeze.

Count me in

Sounds like a good plan to me!

And I just found one for under $20. And it's a Snap-on.

I'd buy one, but I already upgraded my lifters. $20 is more like it, though.

It would be a nice gesture for someone to measure one of these and post a drawing for a DIY project.

Thanks for the link.. just bought one myself. I've got Topline 3g lifters just sitting in my garage that I've never got around to installing. This tool should make it a snap.

I bought manualcd *after* changing my lifters, saw that tool, and was like, "Oh man, that would've been a snap if I had that tool!" Let us know how easy/hard it is with the tool (and if you bent a valve or anything afterward ).

Here's a link for SBR's set, but it's more expensive than mine were (I got mine for $120):
Slowboy Racing, Inc. :: DSM :: Engine :: Head Parts :: Lifters :: 4G63 Revised lifters

Maybe someone else can post a reputable vendor that is cheaper.

 

[snowborder714]

Here's another link to some cheaper ones. I've read a lot of people use Topline lifters. They can also be found on eBay.

And I hope they were "revised" or "3g" lifters?

I got the "TOPLINE REVISED LASH ADJUSTERS LIFTERS ECLIPSE DSM 4G63"

I got the "TOPLINE REVISED LASH ADJUSTERS LIFTERS ECLIPSE DSM 4G63"

I bought those last summer,they work great! Much better sound now,no more ticking.

 

[BLACK TALON95]

So guys, can I assume that since I purchased the Valve Lift Removal Tool, I will not need a Crow Bar to Pry the lashers loose, etc?

That sounds about right. With this tool you should be able to keep the prybar away from your cylinder head.

The tool will allow you to pry against the cam to compress the valve spring. Then the rocker will fall out (MAKE SURE YOU PLUG ALL OF THE OIL RETURN PASSAGES - those rockers won't go all the way to the oil pan, but they'll be hard to get at). With the rocker out, the lifter will pull up out of the head. You will probably have to crank the motor over (clockwise only) to get the lobes of the cams out of the way. If the lobe is sticking out over the lifter, you can't pull the lifter all the way out. So look at which lobes are out of the way and do those lifters, then turn the motor (clockwise) until other cams are out of the way of other lifters, etc.

I'd still read through the tech article, as you still have to prime the lifters and turn the motor manually.
