Are they doing the rear banks in the vid?

That is an EVO running a 4g63 motor.

It is an inline 4 with no rear bank.

Would be great if someone does a rear bank vid, as the link for rear bank tappet change is no longer valid....


Btw, one more noob question...

Ben had written in his DIY "Meaning that you cannot attempt to remove a tappets that is under load - ie depressed. "

Can the tappet under load be removed by the specialized lifter removal tool? Also Ben, what do you mean by rotating the motor 180 degrees.

The rear bank is the same as the front bank, it is just a pain because of the space and orientation.

No. When the cam lobe is putting load on the tappet, you can not remove the tappet.

Rj-Fto wrote:Also Ben, what do you mean by rotating the motor 180 degrees.

To stop the cam lobe putting pressure on the tappet, you need the engine to rotate. You can do this by rotating the camshaft with a ratchet or by using the starter motor.

I did my rear band ages ago. There is nothing to it, Find a quide of inlet manifold removal and it's like doing the front bank.

One thing is, if your using a big pry bar or screw driver, you can get right in there, so it takes ages of frustration to get one lifter out.

A lifter removal tool would be the best idea.

Doesn't matter the internals are very similar and that tool should work with an FTO.

Dont clean them, its a waste of time. I did mine with diesel and it last prob 5000-10000 km and they were noisy again. Just get new ones.

Ben mate that is brill thanks for advice thats what ill do an if all else fails me it time to repair them so what oil is best to use for car then,

Same oil as you've always used, a 10 or 5w-40 semi synth.

Changing oil types to mask the noise will only make the problem worse in the long run.

Just my 2 cents. But the noisey tappets isnt doing any damage (in the short term). So for all the trouble it is too pull them out, I would just wait till you can afford new ones and install them.

Very true ^^

Save your pennies, buy a new set.

oh, I am a cheap bastard, so I have thought about it. But sadly, I am also a lazy bastard and my shear laziness by far out weighs my cheapness.

So I have to wait till I can afford it.

Looks like I'm going to get some of these:

Where is the rear bank even located? haha I have very little knowledge of engine parts as you can see...

Haha, its under the intake manifold. Its gotta come off to get at them.

Are they the same one kempy's use to sell? Are there better ones? As the ones I replaced are noisy again already. I heard on the American forums we should use the generation three ones?

Nah, not the same as Kempys. Dunno how these ones will hold up, I've only just put them in.
