Typically the OEM engine oil viscosity.
Nissan's Hydraulic lifters for the SR20DE and SR20DET are usually recommended to be placed in 'engine oil' when the engine is undergoing rebuild, which in this case would be 7.5W30 (from factory) or approximately 10W40 depending on the viscosity you can find at your local store.
What else can I help you with?
What are tapping valves?
Tapping valves is a noise made by too much clearance between the valve lifter and the valve. Modern engines have hydraulic lifters. If you have too little oil pressure or run the engine low on oil, the lifters will make noise. The lifter can also wear out.
What do you have to do to a hydraulic lifter prior to installation?
pump it full of motor oil with an old squirt oil can
What is the little rod between the rocker and valve spring call on a 3.0 Plymouth engine?
That is the hydraulic lifter
How much oil is contained in a Chevrolet 350 V8 hydraulic valve lifter?
That is one thec. question, That hardly anyone would care about as long as it loads up and stops clicking.
What causes noisy hydraulic valve lifters?
There could be several reasons why you have a noisy hydraulic valve lifter. One reason could be worn our parts in the entire valve train. A loose rocker arm could also cause noise.
Why does your summit engine make ticking noises?
Worn valve train? Hydraulic valve lifter worn or "hung-up"? Lack of lubrication to rocker arms?
What would cause a ticking noise in engine?
Collapsed hydraulic valve lifter? Rocker arm (valves) need adjusting?
How can you tell the difference between a hydraulic lifter and a mechanical lifter on a Chevy 350 engine?
Take a pushrod and push down on the plunger in the lifter. A hydraulic lifter is spring loaded.
The engine is making a ticking noise when the rpm goes above 2000 the noise starts to fade away after a while and is louder when the engine is cold any ideas?
This sounds like a hydraulic valve lifter that is dirty, sticking and is not getting enough oil to lubricate the lifter. After the engine warms up and the oil pressure is stable, the lifter begins to get enough oil and quiets down. Try changing your oil and use a lighter weight oil like 10/W/30. After 2500 miles return to your former vescosity oil.
What is the possible cause of Noise from the Hydraulic Valve Lifter at all engine speeds?
Depending on the vehicle, it most likely needs adjustment.
How can you physically determine if a hydraulic lifter is bad?
To physically determine if a hydraulic lifter is bad, you can perform a few checks. First, listen for abnormal engine noises like ticking or tapping, which may indicate a lifter not pumping up properly. Next, you can remove the valve cover and inspect the lifters for signs of wear or damage, such as scoring or excessive play. Additionally, checking for oil flow and pressure to the lifters during operation can help identify if they are functioning correctly.
What is causing a clicking noise coming from the top side of the motor?
Most probably a loose tappet. Check the valve clearances. Or a valve could be sticking in its guide.If the lifters are hydraulic (unlikely on older cars) they might be gummed up. A good flushing oil will clear sticking valve and lifter problems.
