Hey guys/gals,
I got some bad news today that my lifters collapsed. I know i know...probably my fault...but $hit happens. Anyways, moving on, I need to get some new lifters. I know that every parts store I have talked to here in Illinois has said "Are you kidding...DEALERSHIP!" But I was just wondering if A) I can fix collapsed lifters or cool.gif If I can avoid the major costs of Dealership parts. Any ideas are big time welcome. Cuz life without my tibby is lonely. Thanks all.

All of the lifters collapsed? That's odd.

 

I dont think all of them did. I popped the valve cover off and they're definately clickin' loud. But at low rpm's it only sounds like only a few are loud. The higher I go rpm wise, the more it sounds like more than a few are loud. I just wanna replace the things and be done with it or something soon, cuz it's summer and I gotta drive my wife's damn Saturn SL2 4 door. It's killin' me.LOL

 

I had 10 lifters replaced last month when i had the same problem.The first time it happened was last year when 2 lifters were shot and this time 10 of them were damaged.I had themm replaced under warranty smile.gif smile.gif

 

How do the lifters get damaged anyways?

 

I am starting to think mine may be going soon.

When I do a high rpm shift liek at 6k. They begin ticking, but they do quiet down afterward.
I suppose it could be just the lack of oil from the accel.

 

So where the heck can I get lifters? Do I HAVE to go to the dealer or is their another way?

 

Wich cams are you using? stock ones or cam made for the newer beta?
to get new lifter try to get in touch with a shop that rebuilts engine for a living,they sometimes have acces to lots of parts most part store can't get

Denisst,
I got the stock cams in there. All of this happened when i had almost $1000 to put into aftermarket parts and then this $hit hit the fan. Oh well...live & learn. I'm gonna try this stcharlesauto.com
