It will be Shimmed buckets - Outer Shim for UK spec and Under Bucket Shim

Later one's have Selective Buckets.

I've asked this before and you get conflicting replies.

Should post it in Technical where the clever people are!

merlin24 - well done, I have always wondered if it had hydraulic tappets - I didn't think it had as there has never been a tap in 85,000miles
