Hey,

I still have the lifters, didn't install them in yet because the problem was something else, ended up being a cracked Tomei Manifold. No biggie, i'll be keeping these lifters just incase something goes wrong or for my 2nd motor build

I'm having bad luck with my VTC's I replaced one from a used car, and it eventually started to make that diesel sound at idle. Anyways, now i've order'd a brand new VTC sprocket and a new VTC Solenoid, hopefully that will resolve my problem. After all this and I get that VTC rattle back i'm going to ditch the VTC and go with HKS adjustable cam gears.

Steve,

Yes, I'm still currently running VTC on my setup. I am however, about to switch to a solid lifter setup, and will most likely go with adjustable cam gears and an S13 cam bolt, to eliminate the VTC. It's time to go big, or go home. =)

How are you liking the lifters? I swapped in another set I had in my car, and haven't had any problems with them revving up to 8200rpm.

Hey Spanishricer,

I was wondering if you were still running the VTC on your setup, or did you disable it and running adjustable cam gears. I also have HKS step2 cams installed, but my VTC just took a dump, rattles like a mad whore. I've order'd a new VTC from japan, and I don't know how long it will last. Anyways, give me a shout back thanks.

Steve.

ps. i order'd a set of lifters from you; last year )
