Sorry to hear that bro . But I have to replace my sensor too I can't get it loose because I don't have the right tool to do it.

 

yeah I know. It sucks. That socket is a blessing. .. When it works... lol

 

Lifters are super easy, if you can do a valve cover job you can do lifters!

 

Hope everything gets sorted out, you just have to dedicate the time to it. I'm sure you well Getty it sorted witty help from the forums.

 

Maybe just try at a different time sometimes coming back to it later helps.

 

Oh really?? Mind giving me some instructions? Lol. I'm wanting to paint the valve cover soon.. so if I could do both.. that'd be awesome... lol.

 

Yeah I painted my vAlve cover too . (Blue) I wish the blue was a little darker

 

I will have to look in the book again for the torque specs, you will want to use a torque wrench for this... The simplest way to do the lifters is to loosen all of the bolts holding the rocker arms down, once loose you can lift the rockers which contain two lifters in each, there are 8 lifters on the exhaust side and 8 on the intake side for a total of 16 lifters. (DO NOT REMOVE THE ROCKER ARM ASSEMBLY) Just lift each rocker with your fingers. I used a magnet grabber tool to pull out the lifters from the bottom of the rocker. There will be JUST enough clearance to remove and install them but it works out better cause sometimes they like to fall out! I just did the lifters two at a time working from one rocker to the other.

 

Alright. I might do that.. but can't until this damn weather stops ****ting ice and snow... but on a side note, I ordered me a set of hids for my car. Can't wait.

 

I got my entire engine painted I would recommend doing more than the valve cover

 

Can I see photos !!? I tried painting my valve cover I sanded it but I couldn't get the paint to stick

 

14 pages down. What a read. Keep at it, and post more pictures!

 

I'm interested now. What color you go with?
