That's becuase most of mig is based on the 20XE or the 20LET, and not that many small block 16v compared, so ppl probably don't know | |

I cant see why you cant use your old springs. Put a post on mig as to why it might happen. | |

the old lifters suddenly went because it seems either a few valve springs snapped and jamed the valves giving the lifters no where to go of the valves just stuck, its had new valve guided too!!! apparently, yeah i was told that it needed new lifters but that was it, i carnt blame the lad he really thought that was all that was wrong, so what do you suggest, can i use the valve springs from my old head if needs be | |

All the valves are closed, yeah the springs in the lifters are broken now, i immersed them in oil but couldnt compress them they were solid. | |

Right took out my old C16XE put in the re-built one thats got 1500 miles on it, i was told there was a problem with the engine and it was hydraulic lifters, bought a new set over £100, got the engine all in by 3.00 this afternoon, turned the key it started first time well chuffed but, bang bang bang bang bang, the very very loud noise is coming from the head, took the head off, what a ball ache, 6 of my new lifers are fucked inside and i aint got a valve spring compressor to find the problem!!!, gonna buy one tomoz, was gonna put the old head on but.............fucking head bolts wont budge without chewing the heads!!!!!, plan is, i think i might have 6 bust valve springs swap the set from my old engine into the new head and hope its ok, thats if the problem is the springs!!!! |
