hiperf406 Jan 21st, 10, 11:35 PM The lifters on my LS6 are very loose & was considering taking a stab at setting them myself. Any thoughts - I am a descent shadetree mechanic . Any pitfalls to be on lookout for ? It's the car in pic not one of the new fangled ones.Thanks lorne http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd64/hiperf/DSC00148.jpg bulletpruf Jan 22nd, 10, 7:22 AM The lifters on my LS6 are very loose & was considering taking a stab at setting them myself.

Find a tutorial on the internet (check cam companies) for step by step instructions. Good luck, Scott Randy 67EC Jan 22nd, 10, 11:53 AM One trick I do is since it is hard to set them all when it is hot (best when hot), I get the engine hot, set the first cylinder to the correct lash and then let it cool off, usually overnight. Then I come back and measure the lash on that cylinder and then set them all cold to that lash. Has worked great for me for a few years now. hiperf406 Jan 22nd, 10, 12:42 PM Thanks will do both. lorne BillyGman Jan 22nd, 10, 2:30 PM One trick I do is since it is hard to set them all when it is hot (best when hot), I get the engine hot, set the first cylinder to the correct lash and then let it cool off, usually overnight.

I've never tried doing it that way. Thanks for sharing. :thumbsup::thumbsup: | ||
