Bolser Clyde Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I have a e-9 500hp 998 took apart for cam trouble. I took the lifters out to replace them and dealer could not get new ones. I found some good used ones and a new cam. The lifters I took out had a oil passage in the side but the used ones I found don't does anyone know why? or if there was an update? Thanks in advance for any info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theakerstwo Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I can not copy and paste here for some reason but search for hillcrest cam grinding in little rock ark.I know some one who uses them and I have installd one cam for a friend from them. They can grind your own and plus reface your lifters. Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolser Clyde Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 My lifters are trashed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theakerstwo Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 From what i understand they grind all of the hard surface off of the lifter and lay a new face back on it. Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolser Clyde Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 I bought the truck and they said it had engine trouble. I took it apart and found someone had rockers so tight they wore through tops of lifters and bent one push rod and wore a lobe off of the cam!

theakerstwo Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 A lot of guys get mixed up trying to adjust the valves on a mack with the dynotard cam.It has a special cut ram on the exhaust lobe that can fool some. Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e9500v8 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I went through this 2 years ago. All lifters are the same E6 E7 E9. Just updated and not cheap anymore. But when going to the new lifter you have to change push rods on either the exhaust or intake I cannot remember. The radius in the top of the new updated lifter is different. There is some service bulletins on this. I'm sure someone here can provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
