Engine Bad lifters?

keel · Aug 5, 2024

I noticed some very light scoring on the roller part of my lifters (all of them). There isn't any pitting and the lines aren't deep enough to feel with my fingernail. The cam looks good too, no scoring on the cam lobes. Is this going to cause a problem or can I just continue to run them?

Maybe a pic or three?

These aren't my lifters but it's pretty much exactly what I'm seeing, except less severe. Pic is from an old thread on Corral that didn't get any good answers.

Can you shine a light down the bores and check the cam too??

The OP mentioned the cam looks good, no scoring, I would think they are fine, so long as they are put back in the same orientation/pattern. Unless of course you took them out because you noticed a problem with a few of them, then id just replace them all.

Didn't notice any lifter related issues other than the scoring. They are pretty new, I think about 2000-3000 miles since I built the motor. Built the engine in my driveway so probably wasn't the cleanest environment which I'm guessing is the reason this happened.

Ive seen lifters look way worse than that and people use them...im no expert mind you, just some things ive noticed and learned over the years.

They look like they are doing the deal.
