July 27, 200520 yr In my EA82-T i purchased the mitzpah HLA and need to install it, when i recieved it, i didnt know if i should be able to push down on the spring and feel movement, or if i should be pumping it up first in an oil bath... any suggestions?? i found and read: http://homepage.powerup.com.au/~camncath/ea82_hydraulic_lifter_fix.htm just curious if anyone could let me know any secrets to the actual placement of these clicking ...friends. lol to pump or not to pump...... is this a valid quesiton!?!?
July 28, 200520 yr from the online FSM: 1 - with adjuster set in vertical position, push adjuster pivot quick and hard by hand. If pivot is depressed more than 0.020in, put adjuster in a container filled with light oil, and move plunger up and down until the depression is less than 0.020in 2 - If pivot is depressed more than 0.020in even after repeating the above procedure, replace adjuster. page 165 of EA82 service manual part 1 from the flinleyweb website - I'll find the link in a minute. edit: http://www.finleyweb.net/default.asp?id=142 they later say to insert the lifters into the head in their original position, which I hope doesn't make a difference, since I didn't mark them when I took my current engine apart.
July 28, 200520 yr I installed these into my re-built ER27. I installed them into the engine. They didn't tick from the start, and were pumped up after just a few seconds of running. 5K miles later, still no tick.
July 28, 200520 yr I installed these same lifters when I rebuilt my ER27. Did nothing special, just installed and ran the engine. 5K later, no tick.
July 28, 200520 yr like mr. radon said, just install and go. assuming your oil supply is in good condition (which should be addressed while it's all apart anyway), then the HLA's will function just fine if you install them. be sure to lube all of the valve train up real good with assembly lube or oil. HLA's, valve tops/springs and rocker arms.
July 28, 200520 yr Author AWESOME!! Thgank you for the responses!!! i'll let you know how it goes. My dad and i are the ones working on the car, and he's leaving for a week come friday, but i'll see what i can do in the meantime. I'll keep everyone posted!! Thanks Again!!! Luigi
December 12, 200520 yr Author After installing the lash asjustors with no pumping up, i have ZERO click. i believe it to be from the new gaskets in the oil pump and in the cilinder head. works flawlessly... been driving the car for a little over a month
