noisy lifters

Question?

Will noisy hydraulic lifters (worn lifters) be a culprit for a valve not closing properly, and if that is possible, will there then oil leaking into the combustion chamber? Resulting in oil being burned and hence blue smoke from the exhaust during warm up time of engine and then during revving of the engine to plus minus 2.5 /3K R.P.M. Once the engine is warmed up properly, or after a short drive, the blue smoke disappears. The moment when you start up again after long parking, the blue smoke will appears again. OR is it purely to worned valve stem seals(in my case brand new since rebuild) passing oil to the combustion chamber. Or the valve stem seals will prevent(or suppose to prevent oil reaching the open valve due to a worned lifter?

I must be honest, if this question does not make sense it is purely because I don't have the knowledge 😳 😳

Chem lifters wont cause oil to leak into the combustion chamber. It sounds like valve stem seal from what you are discribing.

but fooked lifters can cause the valve to not open or close properly. you will notice slight performance decreases.

but valve stem seals stop oil getting into the combustion chambers!

Hey so where is this place and did he ever get lifters??? I need i need i need

nobody?

Daniel, I eventually got hold of the lifters at autozone in Centurion adjacent to the Old Jhb road. Although not the same price as mentioned before, but reasonably well for 670-00 x 8 lifters. They still owe me three which they ordered today.

Doesn't sound to me like valve stem seals. Those will smoke all the time at high rpm and high rpm gearshifts.

Sounds more to me like worn rings/pistons or incorrect clearances. Therefore the smoke when it's cold. Once the rings/pistons reach operating temperature they expand, causing a better seal and no more smoke.

I could be wrong but that's my guess chem.
