Afternoon Phil.

 

Sup Barrie

 

Kicking back, busy day at the shop, found out the problem with the truck motor.

 

Those are lifters? And if so, aren't they suppose to be the same size?

 

Yes they are lifters and should be the same size. The short one is worn almost threw. Motor only has about 200 miles on it.

 

I watch car shows
Is that an easy or "involved" fix?

 

It's a good long days work. With luck I can have it running tomorrow afternoon.

 

Nice. Is it a costly repair? Does anything else have to be replaced?

 

If I had to pay for the cam and lifters it would be about$300. including a few gaskets.

 

Damn. Not bad, but not cheap either.

 

Labor would double it.

 

Damn.

 

I am out my time, but they are going good for the cam and lifters.
I'm just pissed about the fine ground up lifter and cam lobe in my oil pan.
Going to give it a couple oil flushes.

 

Hopefully it didn't do any damage.

 

Keeping my fingers crossed, the cam bearing surfaces looked good.

 

I don't know what that means, but cool

 

It basically means that the bearing surfaces still look good, not scored or scratched.

 

Gotcha

 

It pays to use quality filters. LOL.

 

I only use Toyota filters for the Tacoma. I forgot which ones I used for the TJ. It was whatever one was most recommended on WF.
