Did you adjust the lifters properly or did you leave some slack? Take up slack and then 1-2 full turns. Did you test for proper oil pressure, ~10 psi/1,000 rpm up to 35-40 psi, even warm. Make sure the push rods are properly seated.

Hi All,

The engine is rebuilt and in the bus and running well. Several questions. I thought I did an adequate job of oiling the lifter before I installed them. They are making lots of noise? I drove the bus maybe 15 miles. How long might it take for them to quiet down? I think I adjusted the rockers well, and there isn't any slop. Any thoughts?

While I was doing the rebuild I was doing some cleaning, and loosened the screws on the luggage rack. You know where I am going...while doing the test drive the luggage rack flew up, smashed the skylight, and pretty well trashed the luggage rack. Any thoughts where I might get one? Nothing on Ebay or The Samba at the moment.

Thanks, Finn
