Question: Crushed lifter

[Texas Jim]

I am sorry... I don't hear any lifter noise in the video.
But I don't hear too good anyway.

Do a compression test.

Should probably be around 130 or so.
The main thing is that they are all fairly close to the same.... if it is 130... or 150...

The problem would be if 7 of them are around 130 and one of them is 70.

Good luck.

At best, I hear some rockers, but it doesn't sound like a lifter issue.

Ok, I'll get video this week or next week of my lifter noise and post it.

Very good.
In the meantime run a compression test.
Write down the number for each cylinder.
(so you don't forget it)

Sorry I couldn't hear any lifter noise.
All I could hear was the more or less normal noise of the engine running.

My lifter noise is just as loud as connecting rod knock but its a lifter not rod.

It's still fairly quiet, but you can hear the tapping at 9 seconds or so.

Try to park in a place with no wind, it'll make things easier for the others to hear

FYI, if you bend a valve, it will eventually fall into the engine...

That video wasnt mine but it was same type of noise and louder.

 

[drperry]

That was my old motor...

I had a bent valve in mine, too, though...

If you can hear a chuffing kind of noise from your engine... Be careful...

OK.

I'll ask.

How the hell does one crush a lifter? It's pretty solidly built out of serious alloyed metal.

Thanks for asking first.
I haven't said anything about the terminology...yet.

I am assuming that he means a "COLLAPSED" lifter.

It would take some serious "CRUSHING" to crush a lifter.
