A few things to keep in mind though. Keep the old parts that you are going to reuse in order. Pushrods, rocker arms, fulcrums, etc. all develop wear patterns, and mixing them could result in accelerated engine wear. Also,,, clean everything ral good and put some type of lube on the parts when you put them back in. Camshaft break-in lube on the lifter faces that ride on the cam is a good idea. I also use a lube called Lubriplate 105 when I reassemble valvetrain and other components that need lubrication to prevent a dry start. Other than that, good luck. Chris |

Re: 2.5L Lifters
Well.. I got the valve cover off and the inside looks good.. No sludge at
100,000 miles.. I must be doing something right.. LOL. Also, I noticed that the valve cover is metal not plastic.. I am the original owner of this Jeep and I know it is factory.. Was there a time when they made some with plastic and some that was metal?? Oh well.. Back to get my hands greasy...
