The OEM Lifters cost $712, just for the parts. Was your mechanic quoting parts and labor?

The hydraulic lifters have a certain amount of travel. Shimming is to assure they are within the travel limit. All lifters need a shim but it has to be the right thickness. I have the go/no-go gauge required for this.

I have adjusted a few screw and locknut systems but replacing hydraulic lifters will be a first.
