hey guys how you doing today all tonight it's probably about two o'clock in the morning little greasy already I've been working on a couple cars but this carbon we working on is a 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage and it's got a bad lifters so I'm going to go ahead and change them out this is a pack of eight i'd already previously changed out the eight in the front now i have to change out with a in the back so I figured I'd just make a quick little video and show you guys how to change out these hydraulic lifters alright so on this particular model in order to get the valve cover off we're going to have to pull the timing belt cover half of it so on this one there's just two there's four 10 millimeter bolts we're going to take that out you okay so now that we went ahead and took all those bolts off we're going to go ahead and pull the side of the cover off try not to leave any of the rubber seals from the cover off like one of those alright so after you get that timing cover off you're just going to take out your PVC valve line you're going to have to go ahead take the gas pedal cable off and then take out the coil packs I under I'm going to use a air tool I don't care if it's two o'clock in the morning I'm extremely tired so I just want to get this done alright one more tip is you want to get a pair of you're gonna unhook the coil packs obviously but you also on these right here you want to get a pair of either pliers or real spark plug remover you wanna get yourself a pair of these they grab it pretty well and it doesn't damage the spark plug give it that real good just gets a nice grip on it because if you go ahead and pull the wires you're probably more than likely possibly going to break it so just be careful okay so now that we have that off everything out of the way we're going to go ahead and just take off the ten millimeter bolts or nuts or bolts that go to the valve cover but first I'm going to take off this I drop cable okay now that everything is on pull things out of the way we can go ahead and pull the valve cover up just gonna lift it straight up I don't flip it upside down so you don't drip any oil anywhere okay so we're gonna I've already gone ahead and done the exhaust side on this previously I had ordered only eight I thought it came in a pack of sixteen but that's reason so okay now all we're going to do basically is I'll give you a quick little zoom here all right we're just going to take off on this intake side we're going to take out all of the blue there should be 12 millimeters there's one two three four five you got five homes so we're going to go ahead and take out all five of these and then take side don't worry about the timing belt or the cam gear because it's actually underneath all this on this particular model okay once you have all of them out be careful because the hydraulic lifters are underneath the valve spring so if you want you can pull them out real quick but first things first you got go ahead pop these spark plug grommet seals off because it won't come off and just go one two three if you drop any sorry but if you can see right here there's the hydraulics okay if you happen to drop any of these lifters in there you just all you're going to do is get yourself a magnet this is a magnetic flashlight just stick it down in there and it'll pull them right out see so you got more about all right so we're going to go ahead and flip everything upside down kind of just leave all the bolts in and everything and right here these are your lifter all right so we got all the lifters out and just going to show you a quick little tip when you're looking at them here's the new one and here's the old one now the new one see how I can move it a little bit see how it can move in and out well this old one it don't even budge that thing is like a solid brick so that's one way to tell if you have a bad lifter also I was telling you how there's going to be a way I do put my lifters in so that they don't fall out well what I do is all right so what I do is I get some some oil okay just a multi-purpose grease well not oil actually grease sorry it's late just take a little bit of it and I'll go ahead and rub the side of it because remember how is telling you these things tend to fall right out as soon as you flip them over they're done all right now remember the hole goes facedown okay you don't want to see it so I put a lot of grease on the only on the outside all right and I shove that in there and that just kind of wipe the excess grease away that helps keep it in there until I go ahead and set it back down on top of the head and I'm just going to go ahead and do that to all of them it'll eventually wear off you know get in the system and you'll do an oil change it's not going to hurt anything it's pretty much honestly like using assembly Lube you can also use sembly lube but the some of you it's a lot thinner it's not going to make it stick in there some people might use some high temp RTV but I don't like to do that because that has to go up and down in that rocker arm so you don't want anything clogged and oil or anything like that you all right so we got all of the lifters in the rockers and we're just going to flip them back over just quick like this sleep face down we're going to go ahead sticker bolts back in just the way everything was you want to make sure that these spacers are pointing up the way they were and make sure all of your washers are squared off properly in between the rocker arms because they have to be spaced out and the bolts all the way down okay I'm going to show you how to install this okay so what you're going to want to do is you're going to want to hold your rocker arm straight up like this right before you put it down on the head and then you're going to want to just kind of go gently where the bolts are remember how I said everything's got to be spaced out properly well it's kind of tight so you're going to want it first you're going to want to go forward over the spark plug guides and then straight down now see none of my lifters came out so I'm going to go ahead and just make sure everything's lined up give a little shake make sure all the bolts are lined up maybe tighten the two ends just a little bit make sure everything spaced out before I go torquing on this particular model the torque specs for the rocker arm is 23 foot-pounds on the 12 millimeter bolts just before you go torquing anything down make sure you got everything in the right position on this model there's little grooves that face the outside little notches right here same thing with this they go the opposite way alright so we have all that I'm just going to hand tighten them before I go torquing them down on the torque wrench because you go do and now you start snapping things
