either way your gonna have to get the head off! cant see why the aint already done that!

 

trust me mate im trying to get it sorted but its like flocking a dead horse

 

me thinks you wont be using them again

 

nope defo not

 

do your self a favour matey and give andy (enginetuner) or dave at api a call and ask them if the valve clearance is ok on the classic engine heads or will they foul the pistons if the cam belt snaps (i know yours hasnt but just ask ok)

i could be wrong but as i said before with over 25yrs in the business ive yet to hear or see 1 let alone a full set of lifters stick in the open position collapsed sure 1 or 2 but open seems like they ****ed it up to me matey
