Hi Guys,
My sister bought herself an EF XR6 and it apparently had noisy lifters so she bought some new ones and replaced them. It still seems to be making the noise so I suggested changing the oil and using something decent. Her b/f told me that when he was putting in the lifters he noticed the cam had writing that had been scratched out and different writing written. Would this be a regrind? as that would explain the noise as there are no shims under the lifters. Any help would be great. Cheers |

do you mean there was no shims at all or there were no extra shims
i mean std cams have 1 shim on each lifter and the regrind cams need the two |

The writing is between each lobe, the second one from the front and the last 2 have been scratched out and something different written.
And there are no shims as far as I know, I'll get them to double check it but. |

As mentioned above...one shim in each rocker arm is stock, 2 shims per rocker arm usually means regrind...in saying that, a single thicker single shim can also make up for 2 stock thick shims.
