Lifter replacement is not an engine out job. The dealership doesn't bother cleaning them.. MarcW - 9 years ago |

To give an optimistic example of Fixes, the Lifter issue is interesting.
Apparently the lifters can be dismantled,clean the ball, check the spring, inspect for cracks ,refill with oil and refit. The problem is I think this is an 'engine-out' job . So even if you have no lifter noise ,cleaning and inspecting them should(?) be on the to-do list when you have the engine out and apart. It would be a pity to miss this and then get lifter noise after you've re-installed the engine.
I wish the Variocam units were as easy/inexpensive to service as a dirty lifter..

Yes, but I have to remove the engine for other reasons anyway! And I have to emove the trans. And I hope not to repeat too often :-).
Thanks for confirming the importance of the issue. A careful cleaning and inspection will confirm is replacements are required.
If the concern is ticking noises, I previously linked to a piece that mentions several alternative and unrelated causes of the noise.That may be why some report lifter replacement was ineffective.
