100 Tappets- 
Diameter 0.99875-0.99925
Length (overall) 3.02625-3.03675

Six cylinder Tappets are slightly smaller diameter and nearly a ½ inch shorter.  All six cylinder tappets have 8 holes. I do not have any 100 tappets out of an engine right now so the number of holes would have been an early morning unknown for me, except for a photo in my 100 Service Manual that shows the 100 tappets had 8 holes. 😊

Here's today's Healey 100 rant.  As you can see in the picture of the eight lifters, two are not the same as the rest.  I bought these several years ago from Vicky Brit and they all had the same part number, but they are not the same.  Two of them have eight holes in the body.  The rest have three holes.  The two that are different are almost an eighth of an inch shorter than the other six.  That can't be good.  These are the things I run into that slows progress on this engine.  I suspect the two different ones are for a different application.  Can someone tell me what the correct overall height of a 100-4 cam follower is?  For all I know I might only have two correct lifters.
