Lifter Question...

[MA70witBoost]

Non interference motor stock, unless alot off mill work and a thin head gasket shouldn't be a problem.

Ive seen the valve spring compressor nick the top of the bucket bore and cause a slight dragging issue you described. look into the bore with a flashlight for anything that isn't smooth.

and fix by sanding down??

Scotch bright should do the trick. If it's at the top edge you could run like a flat head at an angle around the top where the burr is and flatten/scrape it off carefuly.

A deburring tool works well.

Yeaaaaaa... Flathead screwdriver... Deburring tool... Same thing...:biglaugh:

 

[IJ.]

Laughing here, well not really "the same"

 

[TurboStreetCar]

i might not always have the "right" tool for the job, but i always have one of the many other tools that "works" :icon_bigg

hey ian, where on wheelerrex's page can you buy one? No one at work has one. The senior heavyline tech just said to wet-sand.

 

[IJ.]

Just about any industrial tool supplier will stock them!

Also brilliant for dressing up a block and head after surfacing.

Wet sanding you need to be super fanatical about the clean up.

and using a deburring tool i dont? How's cleanup w/ a deburring tool? Head is still on the block, and motors still in the car.

 

[IJ.]

Still have to cleanup after a deburr but you're not producing the fine wet aluminium dust mixed with the water that sticks and gets into everything.

The tool makes long thin swarf that much easier to remove.

Have a shop vac sucking on the bore as you use the debur tool. It helps

doesn't matter that the head is on the motor is still assembled and in the car?

 

[suprarich]

It would always be better if the head was off the block...But if you must do it while the head is on the block,,,,then it would be better to do it while a vac is pulling on the bore to catch flashing,,,then to do it without the vac.
