Default Valve lifter, wrangler 4 cyc - 10-20-2009 , 10:50 PM






Got a noisy lifter in my son's '97 wrangler, 4 cyclinder. I know I
can replace the lifter through the cylinder head. Any advice on how
to do this? I know i will need a hydraulic tappet remover tool, and
should probably replace the pushrod and rocker arm. I also know that
it is definitely valve train noise. Any hints?
thanks
cal

My hint is to turn up the radio.

The sole purpose of the lifter is to take out the valve lash. But when the
lifter collapses, the engine does not really care and it can survive like
that for 10s of thousands of miles.

Turn up the radio and put the top down.
