Anyone had any problems with the cheap lifters found on ebay.

Had troubles with my car and turned out a lifter had broken in two and wedged the valve about 3mm open!!!! Luckily it didnt cause any other damage except alot of head scratching as I couldnt figure out why it wouldnt run right.

Cheers

 

My m8 got some lifters on ebay, 2 sets in a package deal I think. Both sets went in cossies and have been fine

 

i got a set off ebay for a job i was doing on a cossie got them for £40 (buy it now) and had no probs

 

I tried to get a phone number for the guy selling theese, but he refused to give me a number and says he only deals via the internet.... very dodgy if you ask me ...personaly I wouldn't put £40 lifters in 8k's worth of engine......

 

You can get proper INA ones from GGR for £79.95.

I think Matt Lewis also does them at this price.

only use genuine INA followers specifically designed for use in a YB!!!! don't buy the granada jobbies!!

i paid top dollar for mine,knowing they'd be fine for revving the car hard as intended,not worth risking if you ask me

 

Use genuine INA ones

Matt

 

INA ???

Matt Lewis is your man.

 

seconded,top fella.

 

Don't buy 'genuine' lifters from Woodfords

 

or 'genuine' head bolts for that matter

 

Bought the cheap ones for my new engine, that cost me a new head rebuild, new cam and new piston......
Buy INA... nothing else

 

what are they then if not genuine?

 

i've had head bolts off them that were genuine?? in cosworth packaging too...PJ Motorsport however is another matter
