How hard is it to change lifters?

It is not difficult in most overhead cam engines. The lifters are easy to get to taking off the cover(s). The problem is that lifters are seldom the entire fix for the problem. Usually, the valves and valve seats need work, and sometimes the cam shafts, so the entire head has to be removed. When you remove the head ALWAYS USE NEW BOLTS and torque them to the manufacture's specifications IN THE CORRECT TORQUE ORDER. Use a new head gasket too and break the engine back in as you would a new car for the first 2K miles. There is a discrete pattern for tightening the head, use it! Find a good machine shop before you get started. Line the engine up to TDC first and make an index mark so you can see if it's moved on you to realign it easily to keep your timing in spec.

3400 v6 rods and lifters

Unless something was very worn, my first thought is the lifters had lost all oil pressure. The lifters are hydraulic and should maintain pressure to keep the rockers tight.

The block will be stamped "OS'' on the cast pad next to the lifter bore. and on the top rail of the crankcase above the lifter bore. WARNING
    New lifters must be primed before installation. Damage to the lifters and engine will result if new lifters are installed dry!
  6. Prime new lifters by immersing them in clean kerosene, engine oil or diesel fuel and working the lifter plunger while the unit is submerged.

Need instructions on how to change the lifters in my 1998 Chevy S10 2.2L

Please don't forget to rate!!!!

2.2L Engine When installing new lifters, a pre-lube should always be applied to the lifter body. It is also a good idea to prime hydraulic lifters by submerging them in clean engine oil and depressing the plunger using an old pushrod. This allows the internal components of the hydraulic lifter to coat with oil before initial operation in the engine. All lifters should be replaced when a new camshaft is installed.
If any valve train components (lifters, pushrods, rocker arms) are to be reused, they must be tagged or arranged during removal to assure installation in their original locations.
  1. Remove the rocker arm cover.
  2. Remove the cylinder head assembly from the engine.
  3. Remove the bolts retaining the lifter anti-rotation brackets, then remove the brackets.
  4. Remove the hydraulic roller lifters from the bores.
  5. Inspect the lifter and lifter bore for wear and scuffing. Examine the roller for freedom of movement and/or flat spots on the roller surface.

Use a lifter removal tool to remove the lifters from the bore

To install:
If installing a new lifter, coat the lifter body with a suitable camshaft pre-lube
  1. Install each hydraulic lifter to its bore being careful to align the flat sides (top) of the lifters with the flat sides of the anti-rotation brackets. When properly installed the flat sides of each lifter are aligned parallel to the anti-rotation bracket. The roller at the bottom of the lifter is parallel to the camshaft lobe.
Make sure to properly align and install each lifter as improper installation of the lifters or brackets could result in engine damage.
  1. Install the anti-rotation bracket retaining bolts and tighten to 97 inch lbs. (11 Nm).
  2. Install the cylinder head.
  3. Install the rocker arm cover.

No compression in #5 cylinder V6 SOHC?

Sounds like a blown head gasket,bad valves or bad rings.If this is the only cylinder affected then the head gasket is more than likely the problem.

1997 jeep grand cherokee laredo replace collapsed lifter 4.0l il6

What motor do you have? The V8, you can remove just the intake manifold and the valve covers/rocker arms to remove the lifter. The V6, I believe you need to remove the head to access the lifters.
