No, it's not necessary. Still, I'd advise doing it if the vehicle has more than about 90,000 miles. You have already taken the engine apart to that point, so the additional parts and labor are minimal compared to what you would pay later to have it taken apart all over again.

How do you replace the hydraulic lifters in a 1973 to 76 Chevy 350 engine?

It's not recommended to change just the lifters. The cam and lifters should be replaced together. To get at the lifters, you can remove the rocker covers and intake manifold, loosen the rockers enough to get the pushrods out, then pull out the lifters.


How do you adjust the hydrolic lifters in your 95 ef 4.0l falcon?

There is no adjustment for hydraulic valve lifters. Lifters can be noisy on some of these models. After ascertaining there is no mechanical damage/broken parts, change engine oil and add 1/2 bottle of STP Oil Treatment (or more if necessary) until lifters are quieter.

How do you change the hydraulic cylinders out on a case 480d backhoe?

To change the hydraulic cylinders on a Case 480D backhoe, first ensure the machine is on a stable surface and the hydraulic system is depressurized. Disconnect the hydraulic lines from the cylinder, and remove any mounting bolts or pins securing the cylinder in place. Once the cylinder is free, replace it with the new one, reattach the mounting hardware, and reconnect the hydraulic lines. Finally, check for leaks and refill the hydraulic fluid if necessary before testing the system.


What is the engine ticking noise?

As you give very little information as to make, model, engine size or year, and exactly when it is ticking, this is just an educated guess. Normally this is valve noise caused by valve clearance issues. If it has solid lifters then they need adjusting. If it has hydraulic lifters, they may be clogged and sticking. If it has hydraulic lifters try adding a can of Seafoam engine tune to a fresh oil filter change. It can be purchased at many auto parts stores. Drive the car for 500 miles and change the oil and filter again. You may have to do this more than once to remove the deposits in the lifters. If this does not work, then the valve stems or lifters are worn, and need adjustment or possible replacement.

What cause a tapping noise in a Pontiac bonnieville?

It is normally caused by sticking hydraulic lifters or lifters that need adjustment. Try pouring one can of Seafoam in the crankcase. If it helps then change the oil at your normal interval and then add another can. You can buy it at any auto parts store and Walmart.
