my motor is a hydrolic lifter 235. i compaired the lifter legnth to a solid lifter 235 that i have and they are the same.
my question is are the lifters supposed to be the same legnth? and if so. where might my problem be then? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 124 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 124 | update,
i removed the side cover and it appears that the solid lifters sit higher off the cam then the hydrolics.
so i pulled the lifters and the hydrolic lifter that i installed is a 1/2" shorter then the solid lifter. so i either have the wrong hydrolic lifter or the wrong push rod.

What is the year of your 235 engine?

i spoke with the local machine shop that supplied me with the push rods and they seem to think that a hydrolic lifter motor needs longer push rods. they said they'd have the right push rods on monday. it would have been helpfull if they had the right push rods when they sold them to me. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | | | | | | Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 124 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 124 | thanks. looks like they are longer on the hydrolic motors. | | |
