NB : get a quote from the agents for all the hoses. You will be pleasantly surprised at how cheap they are.
Stripped out the lifters to give them a good cleaning and bleed as per PDF! found something VERY odd
23 of the lifters are all the same and have been cleaned. But one of them I cant insert a wire down the hole..... i can only get it 4mm down then it stops, after cleaning i noticed there is no way it cold ever have worked like the book says it should. I have not stripped it yet but it seems that the hole in the plunger was only drilled 4mm deep and not all the way through
CAN THIS BE!!!Thats not the problem... I thought i will just order a new one and get it done with. But on collection they(agents) had invoiced the wrong one. The very small lifter. so they checked and only have 2 model numbers availably, so brought the other one out it two was not quite the same. they then phoned someone(pajero) and was told that that is the correct one and that it will work.
Now the difference is that the plunger is shorter by roughly 4mm. Will this one work or will it be too short, The funny thing is they say if i put it in and it doesnt work they cant refund me
will see about that since they confirmed that it is the correct lifter.If ANYONE has info on this please let me know ASAP as this is all I am waiting for to complete the job.
Motor info is.... 3.5V6 DOHC Blister fender. the lifters in are the long/big one's.
