It all depends on if some are full of oil still. Hydraulic lifters can be moved up and down unless they are packed with oil or blocked. Givem a good cleanout and test them again. Personally I would whack them all back in the engine. If they aren't noisy then leave em alone. If they are then replace the offenders.

Hydrolic lifters should be bled before you reintall them .

This is how you bleed them : Imerse them in in engine oil , get a wire that will fit in the hole , push the wire in the hole then try pumping the by hand until they become tight and no more tiny air bubbles come out . at all times you must keep the totaly in oil and in upright position .

Then install them in the engine start the car and they should be quiet after about 30 seconds .

When they are fully bled it should be imposible to push then down by hand .

thanks for the info, I'll go and try that first..... I got a quote for new ones and it amounts to a 1000 euro's which is approx 2000 aus$...then I'll rather convert to Tomei solids.....

Tomei Solids are designed for cams of a smaller overall rolling diameter.. the Stock diameter is 32mm and the Tomei Solids are designed for a 30mm diameter camshaft, so that you don't need to reshim for the installation of the higher lift PROCAM... Look again dude.. if you change to solid lifters, you might want to consider the base diameter of your camshaft... Tolerances here are not good for 1mm of pliable crap to runa round!!!

I meant the complete tomei package (lifters,shims,springs and cams) that should cover all tolerances; shouldn't it?

In general terms Tomei provide just about everything in their line up, you just ahve to know what to pick.. You generally don't need the solid lifters until you are long way into the Lift side of things. If you are prepared for this then go for it..

well since I most likely have to replace them anyway and the tomei stuff will only cost me a few hundred bucks more, I'd rather go for the tomei stuff.(building the complete block for high boost anyway(pistons,rods, new bearings,upgraded oil/water pump etc) and with the tomei stuff it will also benefit from higher rpm limit and more lift)

you were right about the cam base circle, tomei lists stock as 32mm and the solid conversion is 29mm.....

anybody around here ever done this mod?

thanks.....

I haven't as yet, but will be ina few months, I am planning on going for the 260deg 10.85mm lift PROCAM along with the associated guff..

ok I'm interested in how it goes, also just bought an rb26 head for cheap, complete, that's also an alternative to convert to solid and up the rpm lilmit to 8200.........

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
