FAQ
Can you run a hydraulic roller cam with solid roller lifters?
While it is not recommended to mix and match different lifter types, such as using solid roller lifters with a hydraulic roller cam or vice versa, Howards 91160 offers a lifter set designed specifically for Chevy applications. The hydraulic roller lifter set is engineered to work seamlessly with hydraulic roller camshafts. It is essential to use a lifter set that matches the camshaft type to ensure proper function and performance in your Chevy engine.
How do you test a hydraulic roller lifter?
Testing hydraulic roller lifters involves a thorough inspection for signs of wear, damage, or malfunction. One common method is to check for proper operation by compressing each lifter using a lifter compression tool. This allows you to assess the lifter's ability to hold pressure. Additionally, visual inspection for any irregularities in the lifter body or abnormal wear patterns is crucial. If there are doubts about the condition of your hydraulic roller lifters, it is advisable to replace them to maintain optimal engine performance.
Do hydraulic roller lifters need to be adjusted?
No, hydraulic roller lifters do not require periodic adjustments like solid lifters. Hydraulic roller lifters have internal valving that automatically compensates for changes in valve train clearances, allowing for self-adjustment. This design eliminates the need for regular adjustments, making hydraulic roller lifters a convenient choice for enthusiasts who prefer minimal maintenance and ease of use in their Chevy engines, especially when using lifter sets like Howards 91160.
How do I know if my hydraulic roller lifter is bad?
Signs of a bad hydraulic roller lifter include unusual engine noises, such as ticking or tapping, reduced performance, or misfires. Visual inspection for damage or abnormal wear can also indicate lifter issues. If you suspect a problem with your hydraulic roller lifters, it is recommended to perform a thorough inspection and, if necessary, replace the lifters with a reliable lifter set like Howards 91160 to ensure optimal performance in your Chevy engine.
