Hydraulic Lifter Valve Float at Stephanie Goddard blog

Hydraulic Lifter Valve Float. The 1956 packard v8 shop manual has a section detailing how to disassemble, clean, reassemble and test hydraulic lifter bleed down; At this position the valve is closed. For instance, consider an engine that is. Reducing the oil volume trapped in the lifter will help. At high speed, hydraulic lifters may “pump up” and hold the valves open causing the valves to float. You can adjust them just off the bottom cold to battle this stuff is you are really. This overextends the plunger and prevents the valve from closing all. The question is, can a hydraulic lifter be pumped up past it’s adjustment point, overcome all of its preload, and subsequently hold the valve open? How can the exact point of loss of valve train control be determined with hydraulic lifters? Racers will preload a little less, like 1/4 turn, so if the valves float, the lifter won't pump up when compensating and have a valve head hit. If you adjust the rockers to zero clearance you'll have a noisy engine, but the valves will float at the same rpm as if they has 1/2 turn. In order to adjust the preload, the lifter must be properly located on the base circle or “heel” of the lobe. This can happen if the valve springs are not strong enough to maintain normal valve control, and the lifters try to take up the slack that really isn’t there.
