Default Cossy lifters

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

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
