This is the lifter valley of an engine

You see those steel rods?

2020-09-09 04:35:49 UTC  

At the bottom, they fit inside of these cylindrical objects that sit through bores in the casting

2020-09-09 04:35:54 UTC  

Those are the lifters

2020-09-09 04:36:37 UTC  

The lifters ride on this precision ground "stick" called a camshaft

This controls how far and for how long the valves open

2020-09-09 04:38:14 UTC  

Most vehicles today and many even back in the 60s had a hydraulic lifter. Oil pressure "pumps it up" and this compensates for any tolerance stacking or wear in the valvetrain, making it maintenance free. The downside is they don't typically perform well at high RPM

2020-09-09 04:38:45 UTC  

A solid lifter will not collapse, you don't have to worry about check valves failing, lifters having issues pumping up, etc.

A push rod V8.

2020-09-09 05:25:40 UTC  

I prefer twin cam I4’s but that’s just me. I have respect for the V8.

2020-09-09 05:26:02 UTC  

Different strokes for different folks, eh?

2020-09-09 05:26:41 UTC  

Yep.

2020-09-09 05:27:19 UTC  

One of my buddies swapped in a 4A-GE? I think it is, into an AE86

2020-09-09 05:27:32 UTC  

Some 20 valve 4-cylinder from Japan

2020-09-09 05:28:27 UTC  

20 valve? The 4A-GE is usually 16 valve...

2020-09-09 05:28:43 UTC  

That can only mean one thing...

2020-09-09 05:29:38 UTC  

And the AE-86 is getting very rare and most already have 4A-GE’s in them.

2020-09-09 05:30:47 UTC  

From my understanding he imported the engine direct from Japan

2020-09-09 10:14:35 UTC  

There’s my V8 on it’s way to the machine shop, can you guess what it is? 😎👍🏻🤔

boeing 747

2020-09-09 15:44:42 UTC  

The secret engine from INITIAL-D was a 20 valve version of the 4A-GE... I didn’t know they actually existed...

2020-09-09 16:13:11 UTC  

so it’s not a boeing 747 engine

2020-09-09 17:22:22 UTC  

No it’s a Ford small block 302

2020-09-09 20:05:05 UTC  

Bugatti Type 35 or Cadillac Model Thirty

2020-09-09 20:19:00 UTC  

Just got a 2007 BMW 530i. Not sure if it was a smart choice.

2020-09-09 20:32:48 UTC  

3 wheeled vehicles ....
