Hydraulic valve lifters mixed up 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Ross Gunn on  Mon Sep 14 18:19 CST 1998 [RELATED]



My son (with his '90 745 GLE) is still working on straightening out the

valve damage I referred to recently. While removing the head, he thought

he would save a little work and removed the camshaft carrier without

removing the cams and lifters first. Of course, the lifters all fell

out and now he doesn't know which goes where.

OK so he hasn't got everything right along the way, but he is game to

try (can't afford the alternative) and sure is learning a lot.

The question is, what next? Are the lifters selectively fitted? What

is the worst thing that will happen if they are reinstalled randomly?

If they are selectively fitted, what are the tolerances (so he can have

the lifters and bores measured to get the right pegs back into the right

holes?

I suspect the answer from the Volvo dealer would simply be to install 16

new lifters. I hate to even think of the price for that.

By the way, the verdict on tha damage is 2 bent intake valves, 4 bent

exhaust valves and 2 cracked valve guides. Repair cost for the head -

$180 plus parts (disassembly, dye check, machine valve seats,

reassembly). That is a little better than the quote from Volvo for a

rebuilt head at about $4000 with the old head in exchange.

Any help on this question will be sincerely appreciated.
