I had then ported to the max mostly intake then exhaust, valve work and the regular stuff for getting heads done. And yeah the lifters that came with the heads where done for :-( so I'm going to buy new ones instead of going JUNKYARDING haha I'm really hoping to get at least 350-370 with a tune "fingers crossed"

You plan on using aftermarket cams or going with stock cams?

What was wrong with the stock lifters?

You the stock 4.0 cams, and they where all collapsed except 8. Which where the only one I could save when I tried to revive them

[Jean]

Interesting, I haven't seen a collapsed lifter yet with 4 m6x's so far. How much are they new?

[driftingminor913]

Well I bought these heads of some guy on Craigslist, who had them in the back of his 740. There about 35.00 new but I have a shop theta letting me
Buy them for 16 each

[driftingminor913]

So I was a little busy today, got off work early due to weather and thought I go ahead an accomplish this today... And then i remember why I don't like rebuilding engines, Head torque blows!!!











I like how it's looking so far...


Now what to do for the gasket that's in between the upper timing covers, probably going to cut up some 4.0 headgaskets or something. Idk I will think of something

[Jean]

Nice progress! Make sure to torque the knock sensors to spec as well. Did the machine shop not clean the heads when they rebuild them, look a bit stained :)

[driftingminor913]

Yeah they didn't such a good job cleaning them but I'm not really worried about that:-/

[driftingminor913]

Did more work today on the motor, replaced the coolant U-shaped gasket on the back of the motor

Put on Garagistic motor mount arms

Left my injectors in parts cleaner for about 2weeks and they cleaned up great, removed all the O-rings n will be buying new ones soon.

Still waiting on tensioners to come in so that I can put the motor in timing and finally take it off the stand and do the rear main seal and also put the clutch n tranny on. Which I bye ordered the wrong sized tranny seals :-/ so that will have to wait till next week along with other things along with the dreadful purchase of the lifters.

I feel like that's a exaggerated statement. Cause I carried them into my apartment stacked on each other wrapped up and it felt like 60lbs of aluminum

Your argument is invalid. Just this weekend I saw you toss my 160lb friend across the street... Also you play with 300lb tires all day for fun you big baffoon.

[driftingminor913]

Quick question, does any one know if you can run the 4.0DME with the 4.4 bottome end? And is there any difference between them other then Vanos

[Jean]

Yes, it will run. Will it be optimal, no.

[driftingminor913]

I'm hoping it
Will be okay for daily use till I get the miller chip

[driftingminor913]

So my new tensioners and lifters have came.

So this is what $670.00 dollars looks like



The rest are in the oil bin. Also you guys would love the break in process procedure that comes with the lifters hahaha no words just pictures of smiley faces and frowns. Next is get more timing components out of another 4.0 and I can do timing and continue on with dropping this thing in and TURNING THE KEY!

[Jean]

Nice! Can you scan/post whatever instructions / pictures came with the new lifters?

[driftingminor913]

Yeah sure but there arnt any words, but I will describe how it's supposed to go lol
