I am going through inspecting a cylinder head I have, which I assume is evo 8. Stamped on the side is G6EW, so if anyone can confirm it as an evo 8 head would be appreciated. Anyhow, As I was taking out the lifters to clean I noticed that they didn't look like my old ones off my 05 evo 8. Here are pics of what I have:








On both pics, bottom is the one that came off my 2005 evo 8, middle and top were both styles on the new cylinder head I have. The top seems to be the 3rd revision, but the middle doesn't look like the 2nd revision because I thought the 2nd gens were supposed to be shorter?

--sorry the pics are not rotated correctly, that's how they uploaded even though that's not how they are saved on my pc. damn computers.lol

 

The top lifter looks identical to my top lines

 

Maybe Im missing something here but shouldn't the latest revision of lifters already be on these evo heads? I was under the impression the earlier ones were only on dsms
Is it not a good idea to have different revision lifters in the head, or is it one of those things that so long as they work leave them?

 

those look totally differnet from my evo 8 03 ones

 

Would you happen to have a pic of them? How are yours different? Seems like I already have 3 different styles in front of me out of 2 evo cylinder heads. I honestly cant verify for sure if any of the ones in the pic are an oem revision version or aftermarket, except for the bottom one in both pics which came off my car.

My pic is not close up enough but the one one on the left is what I have

 

those look like the second revision, which are the ones in the bottom, or to the far left in the pics above, depending on how your pc is letting you view those pics.

 

Yeah exactly, im interested on what the other ones are from..

 

I guess the important question is, does it matter at all if your running different revision lifters in the same head?
