Hi, I haven't tried it - so, it's time to .........:icon_bump:........... this back to the top!

 

really nobody?? well i guess i'll do it and let everyone know how it works....And has anybody dyno tuned a 4.7 yet

 

Im still looking for some to do the same for mine. Keep us posted how your workout

 

You can get them at airram.com I'm gonna get some when I do my engine rebuild for boost in about a year or so...Please let us know how they work

 

sounds good, thanks for the link im gonna go look for some today

 

Any updates on this? I wanna know if this fixes taht annoying tick..... Mine is only getting worse and worse..........I'm more than willing to replace the lifters if it will make that wretched noise go away................

 

Have you tried changing oil filter brands? Seriously, hydraulic lash adjuster noise on startup is really aggravated by an oil filter that doesn't have a REALLY good check valve to keep the oil passages full overnight. I've always had the best luck with Purolator Pure One filters, OK luck (not great) with Wix.

 

Also, I went to the airram.com site, and personally I think they pretty seriously overstate the benefits of solid "lifters" (the 4.7 really doesn't even have "lifters," it has hydraulic lash adjusters). I think going solid would be a bigger benefit on a pusrhod engine like the Hemi where a) the lifter is actually a lifter and moves with the cam, and b) there's more mass in the valvetrain.

I think it would be a big hassle keeping solid lash adjusters adjusted in the 4.7, AND they're going to make a slight noise all the time instead of just at start-up. Just my opinion....

 

^^agreed, you may regret doing this swap after you find out you will have to remove your valve covers and adjust the lash every x amount of miles...and for what, maybe a couple hp and slightly less noise at startup, but slightly more noise all other times...It just becomes another maintenance item, and is a PITA. On my suzuki motorcycle, it required a lash adjustment every 4k miles, so basically every oil change(and would take like 4 hours to get the tank off, valve cover off, and reassembled...), this is the main reason I sold it and bought a Buell, hydraulic lifter pushrod engine, just change the oil and go That's my opinion, in a daily driver, you want the self adjusting hydraulics...
