VR6Pete 1,455 Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 There's a guide on here that tells you what to check to see if they are ok.... only buy OE ones though, INA, available from stealth racing... Link to post Share on other sites

xyber 1 Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 If they look alright why waste money. because then you know it's solid and you won't have to be cracking it open again any time soon and all the shiney new hardware can bed in with each other then. Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Yeah I always stick new tappets in when doing cams. The lobes and tappet surface wear in together, so it's important you start off with 2 freshly machined surfaces.I've seen new cams on old tappets cause scoring problems on the tappet surface, which stopped them from rotating in the head.
