I just rebuilt my 100 engine and purchased my lifters from AH Spares in th=
e UK. These were their new design for better oil flow. I now have 1000 mil=
es or so on the new engine and once I got my problems figured out with my =
distributor, the car is running well and smooth.=0A=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0Now I=
'm wondering when the other shoe is going to drop! What problems did you h=
ave pointing you to the lifters as the source of those problems? When I re=
torqued the head, I readjusted the rockers and found no problems. They wer=
e a little off, but I expected a little.=0A=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0What should I=
be looking for? I used Driven Break In oil and then I switched to VR1 lik=
e you after 500 miles. I have been driving the car to build up some trust =
in it and it's turning in to a joy to drive. I've got M mods on this engin=
e, cam, H6 carbs, M pistons and these new lifters. So far, so good.=C2=A0=0A=
