Hydraulic Lifter Update On GM 4.1L (252 CID) HT-4100 Engines
A revised hydraulic lifter assembly has been released by General Motors for the 4.1L (252 CID) HT-4100 engine used exclusively in Cadillac automobiles.
The revised lifter assembly carries part #5234360 and features a revised foot radius for improved service life. It replaces lifter #5234235 for this engine only. The former lifter should be used for the current 6.0L (368 CID) engine and all past model V-8 gasoline engines used after 1968. Whenever lifter replacement is called for on 4.1L (252 CID) engines, the new part number should be substituted.
Aftermarket manufacturers have followed suit and offer the revised component under the following part numbers.
Dana 213-1685 Pioneer Barnes VT-969 Sealed Power HT-969 TRW VL-73
Check with your aftermarket parts warehouse or distributor for additional part numbers.
The illustrations below feature a representative aftermarket design of the lifter. However, the ribs are simply used for identification and may appear in different locations depending on manufacturer.
