quick question about hydraulic tappets

Post by octane41 »

hi there

just in the middle of rebuilding my engine - its a x10xe - yes, the three cylinder :(

ive totally forgot probably cause ive been driven mad but ...

do the rollers just sit on the hydraulic tappets quite loose before you put the cams back in or do they need knocking into them?

a quick reply would be appreciated lol as i'm losing the will to live!

Not very quick but if its hydrolic lifters then loose is fine as any play will be taken up when the lifters fill with oil.
