Took my last ride today, to the launch. Ugh. Can feel the depression setting in already. Gonna have to figure out what I'm gonna do till next April. Anyhow, long story VERY short, rebuilt engine 2 seasons ago, and had 1 lifter giving me fits. Shop said everything mic'd out on the very low end of the tolerance level, so it was decided not to replace cam/lifters/push rods. Honed the block, put everything back together, new heads, timing chain, etc.
In retrospect, I should have just dropped the $$ and done it anyway.
I think I dropped that lifter within the last week. I didn't get the performance I'm used to today, and, I can feel a little bit of a miss on the #4 cylinder (pulled that wire, noise went away). Looks like a got a day-long job ahead of me. Question is, am I stuck with Mercruiser's OEM lifters and push rods, or can I go with something better performance-wise, maybe something that'll perform better at higher rev's?
