[TR] TR6 lifters

[spook01@comcast.net]

Don't go nuts.  Use the tabs just as the factory did, bolts, etc.  Those engines went a long way esp. considering they were built by lazy workers assembling them between strikes.
I would point out to all of you who replace various tabs with loctite that you remove locktite with heat.
Remind me to post some photos (if I can find them) of the extra giant hole in the side of the block of a EP TR4 where we stupidly used loctite red instead of tabs on the rod bolts.
Oops.

I'd go with Grade 5.  You don't want something that's too hard to shear off, or you might have worse problems next time.
