Are all your lash adjusters easily compressed and still springy? And what coolant nipple are you talking about?

Springy? And it's the valley coolant hose under intake manifold

You might need the water pump nipple being that you have a 1997. I think 98 changed. And when I say springy I mean when you press down on the top of the lasher, does it compress and feel like you are pressing on a spring?

They might need to be replaced then. They should be springy.

There is some that won't move at all and some the do what I already stated.

Thats from lack of oil changes. They need to be replaced.

As long as they roll smooth and aren't any flat spots you should be alright.

So even with hydrolic lash adjusters they have spring

I will tear apart a lash adjuster tomorrow and take pictures so you know how they work.

When I did my pi cam swap my lash adjusters were solid as a rock...I bled them down using a c-clamp and two thick pieces of rubber to protect the metal. I thought they were toast, but after bleeding them down the correct feel came back and I haven't had any issues with them. It's worth a try since new ones aren't cheap in my book

Thanks for the reply, I read online about the bleeding process I'll look into the clamp

All good info! These guys are good!
Hey I got an idea, just tske the crappy lashers and make them into solid lashers by breaking them down, gutting and welding completely collapsed. Then use those on the intake valves. Youll need to shim them up, but should make for interesting fun!
