you could also make it worth your while by throwing in a cam at the same time they go hand in hand.i wouldnt look for a new motor just because of lifter noise.and a reco motor will cost alot more than $600 unless you are lucky enough to pick up a recent reco one with reciepts to prove it.

Might not be a lifter either, could be a spun cam bearing for all you know.

it could be, my moneys on the lifters though. They will be fine and will last a while but it depends how long you can put up with it for

ar cheers all, are their performance lifters I can buy? I see a standard set on ebay for about $150... but if i can get upgraded ones for a few bucks more it's probably worth it?

as someone pointed out may as well save up a bit more and whack an upgraded cam in as well, although wouldnt that require upgraded valve springs and upgraded something else??

forgive me, im still learning about the basics

You can upgrade to high ratio roller rockers, one of the best mods for the good old 6, i used the yella terra 1.98.1 ones and didnt have any problems over the 3yrs i had them

arr, so roller rockers are lifters!!! i got a quote for that ratio rockers installed for about $800.. sound right?

would this require any other upgrade to prevent damage?

would it be worth upgrading an engine which has done 220,000km?

 

[calais24/7]

150 bucks for a full set of lifters sounds way to cheap. They are some really dodgy brands out there making lifters, and yes it is better saving up more for better ones so you only have to do it once.

could be a leaky exhaust at the headers... eliminate that before you go mesing with your engine
