[cherrymane]

They look higher when in the head or outside?

If in the head, perhaps you have regrid cams and the lifters were shimmed.

When I put my 3G lifters in, I just swapped them right out and everything was good.

3g lifters are slightly longer

 

[bryanwheat]

They aren't really any longer. It is just that your old lifters are so gummed up on the inside they don't return all the way when there is no rocker on them. Take a pair of pliers and pull the end of the lifter back out all the way and they are pretty much the same size.

4g63 lifters - Bing Images

If I remember correctly when I compared my old ones and the revised lifters the height looked the same just the design was a bit different.

 

[spin1r6]

1g and 3G are the same height, 2g are slightly shorter. All 3 have different oil port sizes.

Did you buy 3rd generation eclipse lifters (00-05) or the 3rd revision of the dsm lifters?

 

[4t9ers]

Where did you buy the 3G lifters from?

I'm assuming you bled them properly before putting them in. I found some more info that may help you.

They have to be bled before install. You can't install when they are full of oil.

 

[cherrymane]

They weren't full the bag had oil in them I watched jafro do it there not suppose to be soft when installed if they are it runs weird for a finite or soon until they fill up

 

[Fejery4491]

But if they're hard you run the risk of bending valves. I'd rather just deal with some noisy lifter for a few minutes, but hey that's just me.

You have to bleed them before installing.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

You dont HAVE to bleed them, they are self adjusting. These things arent solid lifters. Install them with assembily lube as is and after a while of run time they will quiet. This has been my experience.

 

[98PaprikaAWD]

Mine took about 3 weeks to quiet down.

 

[cherrymane]

Ok i didn't wanna take a chance of messing anything up internally. Its been parked for a week now because the ticking and once the new lifters were in and ticking Im gonna drive it ill give it a week and if its still ticking then Im gonna pull the head and check valves. i also purchased bc 272 and need to know if i need springs and if so them what is the right way of going about this?

 

[cherrymane]

Compression was good lifters were not released before installed. Fml
