Title: hydraulic tappets fitting question
Post by: rowlers on 18 August 2006, 14:59

Is there a right and wrong way to refit tappets?
is the oil hole on the tappets supposed to line up with the oil hole (i'm guessing its a oil hole!) on the head??

Best be sure before I put them all in!

Cheers

I dont know but i do know that your supposed to soak them so that they fill up with oil 1st.
