Where to buy AFM and non-afm lifters today? GM ones are out of stock everywhere and amazon is full of noname suspiciously cheap components
hey bud,
how long should i soak the lifters in the oil before installing them? and should i keep them upright or laying down or is there any difference at all. thanks!!
Is it possible to run the engine without the coolant passage plugs? While removing mine i saw there was none on maybe from the last person who had it.
Good day sir,
Are you located in Dallas?
Where are you located lol I need my lifters replace
How for the love of Christ do you shove the exhaust manifold out of the way?
87k miles and I have to replace my lifters, not happy with GM!
What would cause a lifter spring to compress and not retract back out?
What state are you in autorex
Thanks. Perhaps i missed it. On 5.3 How many lifters AFM and Standard? I have 4.3v6. How many do i need to orderer AFM and Standard?
Do you have a preventative mileage recommendation to do full lifter swap? I have 2015 4.3 v6 112k flawless miles. Been changing oil at 5 to 6k miles 40 to 50% oil life rate. Considering doing this job to prevent problem. I lost my 2O10 5.3 3 times under warranty and traded 1 month before warranty over. So i live in fear or losing cam. I think i can do lifter job but not at all confident in cam job.
Even after replacing the bad lifter it kept knocking and bending the pushrod. Changed them twice. Do I need to change the lifter guides. What could be causing it to keep knocking
Almost my rocker arm have little play in them what that mean on 2007 Cadillac Escalade 6.2 liter but I haven’t checked the lifters yet
when disassembling, do rockers also come apart or can you just take off the heads to get to the lifters
12 Tahoe ppv. Opened the valve cover looking for a loose rocker arm found a rocker that won’t move even when I turned it on. Could it still be a stuck lifter?
Are lifter know to speak? I have a noise coming from my engine with the belts off.
Is this the same process for a 2015 Silverado 1500wt 4.3 liter v6?
I watched your videos to pull my head and fix my stuck lifter. A shop requested I get another motor although my truck ran perfectly fine before my lifter got stuck. I saved myself a bunch of money watching your videos my guy.. thanks a million
Did you buy all 16 lifters or did you reuse some?
Hi Buddy ! Very nice video !! I'm in this process with my 09 5.3 sierra and unfortunately I have to change my cam… I'm looking for your video about the cam but I can't find it.. are you able to put the link here ? Thanks and have a good day !
