Quick question?


Recommended Posts

Check your oil pressure - the EA81's do need oil pump replacement after 100 - 150k, and you might have air in your lifters. A lot of people will just replace the seals in the pump, but really once the seals are dead and crispy chances are a new pump is needed.

 

Lifters? in a EA81?

Yes over here at least the turbos, autos and maybe the later model EA81's a lot had the hydro lifters. On my turbo EA81 I used to have there was a sticker on the valve cover that said something like "do not adjust valves" or whatever. If you used guages and set a hydro engine like you would a solid lifter engine you might to have some noise. ;)

 

One of the experienced EA81 guys ought to be able to tell you exactly what models/years got the hydros over here, and what is different on the procedure to set them, as I'm not sure on that.
