Checking Lifter Rise
in Engine and Transmission
Posted
model E7-350
Recently blown head gasket, and we are trying to troubleshoot why. I have the head removed, and i used to digital micrometer to measure the rise in the lifters. They are as follows:
Cylinder 4;
Ex - .4320 inch
In - .3220
Cylinder 5;
Ex - .4240
In - .3165
Cylinder 6;
Ex - .4340
In - .3205
The Cylinder 6 is the one which blew out. Do these look like exceptable numbers for the lifter stroke?
