need a genuine new set, and a cometic rocker gasket.
where from & how much????????????

 

woodford have tappets on special offer this month think there 132 quid a set

 

chhers m8 but i dont think there gen cossy ones, well not 4 that price

 

i was told there only about that much rob,not as dear as you think mate

 

tappets are 16.20 + vat each from cosworth, that's 305 quid but maybe that's the only way to be sure that they're genuine?

 

maybe a silly question but ive heard i think its Golf GTI (mk1 or 2 ) are the same as cossie ones? but cheeper?

 

finnis no. 6542 372, Ł20.42 +vat each

Ł383.84 inc vat for the set. There a GC discount code. (15-20% discount to most
traaders)

I got a set for mine a few months back, there still sitting in a sealed plastic
tub full of mobile 1.

 

in the mags woodfords have em on special offer at 132.50 4 16 and are gen equipment m8 there numbers 01803 863958

 

cheers glenn ill get phoning now

 

ok my thoughts must of been useless

 

you have enough trouble with them tapping, you don't want ones that cheep as well.

 

some people use 24v granada one's. same size differant valve sizes.

 

ive heard the same m8 but since ive had this car ive gone through 2 sets so
wana make sure i get no probs this time

 

why do you go threw them rob?

 

Cool jus wanted to makesure my info was correct
suppose you only get what you pay for although i wonder how good/bad the golf ones are?

 

There no way there gen for that price no matter what anyone says

 

DOO has spoken

 

Just add some of the oil treatment to thicken the oil up Job done for Ł10

 

If anything you will want to thin the oil not thicken it.

 

Cometic Rocker cover gasket is about Ł34, the standard Ford one is Ł30. But you can re-use the Cometic one

Doo is right, the Gen Ford ones are expensive (& I get employee discount!) but i've been told the cheaper ones are not as good.

 

they are made by the same company afaik INA

 

PJ motorsport are selling them for Ł235 i think and they say genuine next to them

 

As Gus said if they've got INA stamped on underside they are the same as standard ford fit
Got a set off E-Bay for Ł120,spot on,no probs
Do a search on here about cleaning lifters out,a few peeps done it with good results

 

cool guys, thanx 4 info

pops wrotereally dony know m8, 1st set started tapping on my original engine with
only 21,000 mls on it, had a set changed by harvey @ scs and they started
rattling @ 28,000 mile, then i had the new engine 2 yrs ago and now i
got 1 really noisey fooker now, annoying thing is it goes when engine warms
up

 

i have a one that taps every now and then,as you say just when engine is cold and only lasts for about 20 seconds then goes normal
mind you it only does it when the car hasn't been driven for a month or so
but as you say,even then its fooking annoying

 

should listen to mine

 

yea pops mine lasts about 5 min then it fine, but hate it when it sounds
like i got a baby with a rattle under the bonnet

give me summat to do over xmas anyhow

 

that aint your tappets though ginge,thats a fooked engine in the making

so im lucky to only have 20 secs from cold after being sat in the garage for 4 weeks then

 

mine slighty rattly little ends , but then u also have mobile 1 oil in it, when i but the "other" stuff in it then we will see

 

slighly you started your car up and everyone looked round cos they thought a diesel train was coming down southend seafront

i dont use mobil 1,i use valvoline 5/50

 

me 2

 

And we dont want to know what for

 

pops weas a litttle low at that time

 

yea he probally ment vasoline

 

how did you quess

 

got some off ebay new for 51 pound, they are not genuine 'cos they're made by AJUSA not INA but they are silent so well happy. before i fittd them i measured them with the verniers seemed identical in every respect
