Hello all, I have finally re-listed after my move from Seattle to Vermont. My bus ('91 syncro westy) made the trip no problem. However, after not very long after the trip I began hearing what sounded like lifter clacking (like you hear at start up) which did not go away for a while. Then it progressed to a very loud clack and I stopped driving it. Anyway, I pulled the valve cover and rocker arms and have found what I think is the problem. Two of the four lifters on the left bank are soft to the push of my thumb. They are squishy. As I understand it from Bentley, this is not right. So, I also understand from Bentley that removal and replacement of the push rod tubes and lifters can be done with out removing anything more than the rockers and the old push rod tube. I assume you will likely destroy the old tube taking it out right? But a new one can be inserted with out removing the head? This would save so much hassle if it were true. Any comments that I am on the right track etc. etc. would be appreciated. Thanks y'all! Great to be back. By the way what's the latest on the 5- cylinder conversions ! ?
