I searched, but didnt find a sure answer. Can e36 m3 lifters be used on m42 motors?

Engine + Driveline / bad lifters causing misfire/low comp?

« on: February 03, 2010, 10:49:30 PM »

I recently aquired a 93 318i. It had been sitting for a while before i got to it. The first time I went to start it, it turned over as if there was no compression. Did a compression test and one cylinder was at about 75 psi while the rest were gine. then It started fine a few minutes later. A few days later I went to turn it on again, and it spun over like if there was no compression again for a bit. A few minutes later it started but it had a miss on the same cylinder that was low on compression. After running the car for a bit, the miss went away, and I checked the compression again and it was fine in all cylinders. Ive been driving it for a few days, and when i first start it, it has that misfire, but goes away after a few minutes of driving. The previous owner told me that the lower compression/misfire was caused by bad lifters. Is it true that bad lifters can cause these symptoms? any suggestions?
