Well that blows!

Strangely enough I had bought a set of 3g revised lifters off the past owner while he had that car....said he was incapable of installing.

Wonder if he tried the screwdriver trick with the cams in and bitched up that rocker :thumbsdown:

With this string of bad luck, mine is sure to break soon....great :roll:

Well if it gets bitched up, it won't take but a few minutes to ruin the cam, but with that broken, it's not like it would keep it from running.

IDK if any of you guys have ever dropped one of those, but the roller bearing is VERY brittle, and usually splits or hairline cracks if you drop it. I tried the screwdriver trick at the junkyard once for shits and giggles to get a lifter out, and its near impossible not to shoot the rockers flying while doing it.....it probably fell at one point, as that car has never jumped time (that I know of) or anything that would cause extra stress on those. He owned that car for like 3 mos after I bought the lifters, so who knows.

BTW, when you have the cams out SPEND THE MONEY AND BUY THE 3G REVISED LIFTERS!!!!

Best fucking thing on a DSM I ever did! It's so nice and quiet....never ticks EVER....even when I had a hellacious oil leak and was like 2 1/2 quarts low :lol:

I think like $120-150 is the going rate. Worth every penny.

I won't even think about doing another DSM without them after using those.
