as for 1.9's ive gota mk4 3i with a n/a 1.9 on mfi... goes like stink
rather than an rst you could have a 1.8 zetec or a 2.0 for less money
ARE YOU ON SOME KIND OF DRUGS THAT HAVENT BEEN MEDICALLY TESTED????
IS ADJUSTABLE ABOUT CVH HYDRAULIC LIFTERS?????
IF YOU HAVE A SUFFICIENT ANSWER WHICH I DOUBT YOU WILL VERY MUCH I'LL GIVE YOU MY ADDRESS AND YOU CAN "HELP ME ADJUST THEM"
MINE ARE WORN WHICH IS THE REASON THEY RATTLE UNLESS STARVED/ SHORT OF OIL AND I'M GOING TO REPLACE THEM AS THEY DO NOT ADJUST,
FOR INSTANCE; TAKE ROCKER COVER OFF, UNDO ROCKER ARMS, REMOVE ROCKER ARMS AND PULL LIFTERS OUT CLEAN LIFTER BORES DIP NEW LIFTERS IN OIL AND SLIDE IN THEN THE REVERSE OF THE ABOVE,
I'M NOT HAVING A DIG JUST CORRECTING YOUR WRONG ADVICE, CHEERS, GRANT.
PS BEFORE ANYONE MOANS ABOUT MY CAPS LOCK DON'T BOTHER SAVE YOUR TYPING FINGERS.
