$180 Still seems a bit high unless it included a complete gasket set.

A trick just in case, I never attempted this, but it's logical....

Take a rubber hose will fit in Your pushrod, and at the other end of the hose apply around 100lbs of air pressure, do this with the pushrod firmly in place with Your hand, this will "probably" help You, it's a stupid idea, but before opening the engine I'll try this...

You know you have to remove the intake manifold to change the lifters right? If you're going to do that much work you might as well change the whole set. You can get a whole set from Summit for $120 and they're Ford Racing pieces to boot.

they are high because they are roller lifters. the roller followers that I bought for mine cost about $12 each times 8 is about $96 180 sounds about right for stock replacement parts

I know. I was just saying that he could get a new set of lifters and a gasket set for less than that $180 "kit" costs.

i think so too hopefully in a good way.. well everything is taken out and not pu tin yet. i been finding chunks of carbon liek crazy. i cleaned the heads and in teh middle of teh block. then i been cleanin the lower inatke too the metal. i pained teh top intake black too after i cleaned it. i foudn the clogged lifter and somehow it has dirt and some silicon i guess from something orginial on the motor. I also found out that the crank case filter was original and clogged. I didnt know they sell that and so i bought one. i never seen anyone here change it either. i also changed the pcv valve. and bought new thermostate, not a cheap one. also a new fuel pressure regulator. and new hoses all around . all teh hoses were cracked and had leaks. SInce my brotehr had his old gastank brands new when he has his 88 t bird he took it off before he junked it. so im gonna swap a new gas tank with a new float as well with a new fuel filter and better fuel pump. I hope this motor turns out way way better then before. this motor will also have a oil change. o0o man cant wait lol

well guys today everything is in!!!! and car started up and was ticking for a while which is supsosed to happen and then no more ticking. all the lifter was pushing oil in the beggin accept one on the drivers side. so took out the pushrod blew through it and put it back on and oil starting coming up. but the pressue of oil pushing up wasnt at all the same as teh other ones. then later on it look as if it had a little more pressure. Will it go to to being normal after some driving? Also is there anyway that i can be preciusie on adjusting the valves? non of them tick but can i do better?? what else can i do for the valves?? let me know thanks

you could shim the springs, i made mine and they are sort of horseshoe shaped,, i can send a pic if you want.

this will let put a tiny bit more presure on your spring and help them seat better.

if the heads are off, put a wd40 down inside the intake holes before you button it up. it would be ideal to do the same on the exhaust ports as well. the oil will have time to soak in and bust up carbon on the valve seats and send it down wind.

im not really sure what you can do to the valves without the heads off. that kit you have might have come with valve stem seals,, you could put those on if you rotate each piston TDC one at a time and install them.

i hope you check the pvc hose for cloggage as well.

follow my diy link if your interested in deleting the smog pump/gutting the cats. its based on the 3.8 but all the line colors you should worry about are the ones for the smog pump (black) and the bypass valves leading to the exhaust which are (tan). perhaps those parts are the reason you had carbon build up in the first place, maybe one of the bypass or purge valves is defective. Just put suction on them and see if they hold.
