Question: Crushed lifter

[davbell22602]

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...

I was talking about the video in post #10.

Oh, well... Nevermind then.

Do you have a problem with backfiring? You could also try running 2-3 cap full of ATF in the oil to see if it is a stuck lifter. The ATF will clean out the gunk.

Run it a 100 miles or so tops and change the oil.

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.

140 - 160 with no more of a 8% difference between them. (Many say 10% as a norm)

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.

Correct. If something were to give it would be the push rod.
