Evening all,
Curious to know if anyone who has done valvetrain work has changed lash adjusters on a 3V 4.6L. I recently changed my roller follower, but didn't even think to look at the lash adjuster since the follower was so chewed up it was the obvious main reason for my extreme tick. If anyone has changed them do they know if you can pull them out without camshaft removal. I heard someone mention the clearance to the camshaft, but most videos on the 4V aviators and cobra motors you can just pull them out. Any info would be nice as I would like to go back in and change it as I still have a slight tick under load in the same cylinder but I know the other parts are good.
Pictures for reference. The lash adjuster seemed stiff enough to me, but I wonder if it failed shortly after being loaded up with a new roller
