Thanks a million
My cap is fine but I removed the cams and lifters and when I try to blow through the hole in front of the cam it is totally clogged. When I blow through any of the others it comes out of all of the holes except the one in the front closest to the timing chain. It is the intake cam I am talking about. Is this enough to cause my problems? Wouldnt the oil through the tubes keep the lifters lubricated even without oil through the holes in the cam. I guess I do not know about the passageways that the oil travels. I did notice that the front lifters vertually had no oil and the cylinder had the worse compression. As we went further toward the rear of the engine there was more oil on the lifters and compression on those cylinders was better. I have never looked at a lifter like these but I can not compress them at all. They do not move. What do you think?
Thanks a million
