Rb25 Lifter Removal And Clean

[scr33min']

Ok so im hearing that annoying ticking sound coming form my engine and its driving me mad becuase its noticable from outside the car.

I was going to replace all the lifters because I know one is at fault, but before I do, I thought I might have a crack at cleaning them.

So, my question is, how do I remove them?

Ive never done anything like this before, so I have no idea how Id go about getting them out.

Anyone got a small step-by-step guide on how to get them out?

Another thing I should probably ask is once I do eventually take them out and clean them, do I need to adjust anything or can I just put them back in?

Cheers guys

just run a good oil flush before your next change

rb30's are notorious for it so i ran 2 bottles of flush with some of the cheap gulf western oil though my r31 and it came up really well

used the same oil again for my stepdad's commodore too

you'll be surprised how black it will come out!

I would have to agree with the flush, make sure you do what the instructions say or you can blow your engine. once oil has been changed add a bottle of tune up/ a lifter additive. they seem to work a treat

thanks guys.

I've already flushed the engine about a week ago, so I'll add a bottle of tune up to see if it helps.

What engine is it 25 or 30?

Sorry lol its in the title. But basically you need to remove timing belt and remove cams then you can take the lifter out with a magnet. Then disassemble each one use some carby cleaner and a brush scrub all the parts in it then let it soke in the cleaner for a few hours and then clean dry assemble.

Cheers boostn thats what I was looking for.

Much more simpler that what I thought.

But looks like its gong to be a long job
