Valve Lifters: Inspection

  1. Inspect valve lifter roller for damage. Check that valve lifter O.D. and oil clearance is within specification. See VALVE LIFTERS SPECIFICATIONS  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. Inspect valve lifter bore in cylinder block and outside surface of lifter for scoring.
  2. If scoring exists, ream cylinder block bore for next oversize valve lifter. Oversize valve lifters are available in .001" (.02 mm), .008" (.20 mm) and .030" (.76 mm).
CAUTION: If camshaft is replaced, valve lifters must also be replaced. Whenever new camshaft or valve lifters are installed, one pint of Chrysler Crankcase Conditioner (3419130) must be added to crankcase. This aids in break-in and should be left in engine for at least 500 miles.
