Vanagon concerns / hydraulic lifters
« on: June 01, 2007, 11:07:27 PM »
Has anyone ever researched and found a different lifter--one that stays pumped up?
I rebuilt my air-cooled Vanagon a couple thousand miles ago, and set the lifters at 1 1/2 turns. It still clatters if only sitting for a day! It usually quiets down fairly quick, but sometimes one of the lifters hangs up for 15 minutes or so! And yes, I replaced the lifters and cam with new ones at rebuild. Any suggestions? Oh, I did disassemble each one and bled them before initial startup.
