« on: 06 November 2005, 11:02 »
my mate done mine a while ago,both my mk2's and my mk3 have needed them done,just a bit of info realy.before you place them in the seats do you put them in a small bucket of oil and try and fill them with oil or do you put them in dry(with a little oil to lube them)then let the engine pressure fill them up????i'm not a mechanic,just curious

New tappets come filled with oil, however best to leave in a bucket of oil when stripping engine down to fit the new tappets.
