Re: HVLA swap?

Hi Kevin
Glad the MAF is still holding up, the one I had on the car crap out on me not long ago. I dont think the original MAF lasts very long.
You can def swap the HVL with engine in, but its going to be a pain.
Good luck.
Check your PM

Hey Denny, I see you have a different location listed on your post. When did you move? I tried ALL of the engine cleaners, valve tapping eliminators, snake oils, magic incantations....nothing got the lifter to stop tapping. The engine I got from you is still being rebuilt (that's what I get for telling the shop to "take their time, no big rush"). I got the HVLA's back from Mizpah, and thought the hell with it, I'll see if I can swap them out with the engine in the car.....hence this post for tips. The MAF was working just fine the last time I drove the SVX, thanks again for the deal you gave me on it.
