no the tappets are brand new with no signs of wear?

1 thing i did notice is that on number 4 cylinder the top of the tappets were squashed right down.
but this could be cos the oil had drained out of them buy the time i had taken the rocker cover off?
ive replaced them but it still did the same thing.

gonna change cam 2morra & see what the out come is.

i have a power engineering cam to go in it but will i need anti pump lifters?????

if so i will just fit another standard cam for now.
