Hello
Hope you can help answer a question I have about the valve lash adjustment in a EA82 motor I have in a 1992 Subaru Loyale. First off, I apologize as I don't have any experience with this subject and need some basic understanding to identify if my valve lash adjusters are bad???
Of the 8 valve adjusters, I can manual depress 5 of them about a 1/16 of an inch or a lil more but the other three are solid as ever, which I can not depress at all. Which are the bad ones? As I have read int the manual, I tried to fill the 5 and loosen the other three by placing them in oil and depressing them which will make them firmer??? or loosen them so they can be depressed. No change in any of them was noticed by performing this procedure. Is this an effective method?
Is replacement of either of these the best solution or can I rebuild them?
Thank You
