Change a few lifters or all of them? Go OEM?
I had a discussion with a mechanic who said I should just change (and shim) all the lifters. I have chatttering and tapping. He said a lot of the lifters are off. I really wanted to shim the lifters and replace only the bad ones. I have read in the manual to push down on the lifter with a hammer handle and if they drop too fast compared to the others then they need to be replaced. I have tried this and can't tell if they are bad or not.
If anyone can shead light on this, please let us know. Also, is there a risk to using aftermarket lifters from INI (I think). Thanks, all.
