It may physically fit, but the WR is 2144 cc, and the JS is only 2 litre, so head gaskets compatibility would be an issue. Aren't those hydraulics a noisy old thing!
I guess that you are talking about a hydraulic lifter for an auto engine. There is no repair for these. They can be converted to "solid" lifters or used as paper weights.
You could take off a rocker and try to push down on the pushrod. You'd be able to feel the spring in a hydraulic lifter, but not on a solid lifter.
The International Harvester (IH) 345 engine is equipped with hydraulic lifters. These hydraulic lifters automatically adjust to maintain the proper clearance between the lifter and the pushrod, which helps to reduce engine noise and wear. This design contributes to smoother operation and less maintenance compared to solid lifters.
Oh yes!!! There were two engine options for the 1970 Chevelle SS454. The LS5 was a mild, hydraulic lifter engine rated at 360 HP. The LS6 was a solid lifter fire breather rated at 450 HP.
This type of lifter, unlike its hydraulic counterpart, has no moving internal parts. This means it has no self-adjusting capability and therefore needs to have the rockers adjusted to give a certain amount of working clearance.
HI, FORD 2.8, 2.9, AND 4.0 "GERMAN" V6 MOTORS ALL HAVE THE SAME BELL PATERN.THE 2.8 WAS A SOLID LIFTER ENGINE WHILE THE 2.9 AND 4.0 WERE HYDRAULIC LIFTER ENGINES. THE 4.0 USES HYDRAULIC, ROLLER LIFTERS FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIANCY.DURING THE 70S THERE WAS ALSO A 2600 VERSION OF THIS MOTOR USED IN CAPRI CARS.
On hydraulic lifter engines tighten the rocker arm adjustment nut 3/4 turn after you have found zero lash adjustment point. On an engine with solid lifters set then to .026 cold.
Hydraulic lifters would be STOCK from the factory. On the 84 engine.
Yes, or it could be a lifter out of adjustment. Some 1973 Ford Torino V8s had solid lifters that must be manually adjusted. Depends on which engine you have. If your engine has hydraulic lifters add a can of Seafoam Motor Tune to your oil. Follow the directions on the can. This will clean the lifters and possibly save you the trouble of replacing one.

Vw golf gti ...1986 1.8 engine, k-jet not digifant. Also its the hydro lifter not solid :)
The Chevelle... Especially if it has a solid lifter engine like the L78 396 or the LS6 454.
If it's actually the rockers arms that are "chattering" while the engine runs, you may need to adjust the lash. If there are Solid lifters in the engine, you may want to switch to hydraulic lifters and adjust the rockers to the moment of "zero lash". Adjust them in pairs per cylinder while the lifters are in the down position (both valves closed). When you reach zero lash on the rocker arm (the pushrod will suddenly stop spinning freely in your fingers) add an additional quarter turn to the rocker arm nut to set the "pre-load" of the lifter. This just means that the pushrod will be pushed down slightly in the spring loaded hydraulic lifter and when the engine runs, the oil pressure will keep pressure on the lifter and thus the rocker arms will run silently.
