I bought a very cheap 55 reg ldv with a duff headgasket. Usually it would be a no-brainer BUT....
On looking at the hydraulic lifters they have some ovality to them, but also, one has fractured its collar, necessitating at least one replacement. I'd feel more comfortable just replacing them all to be honest and having a look on ebay its the CRD/VM 2.5 engine as found in london cabs/Jeeps/Chryslers etc so they're readily available...
BUT!....
Heres a used item:
and Heres a new item:
See that the new item doesnt have a collar fitted to keep the two parts connected in the event of an internal valve conquest!?! It looks to be a pressed on item, Unless theres a set supplied with them and they just snap-fit on...? They looka a little different but thats a common theme with the different suppliers I've found.
I've tried emailing the sellers of these items and no respone!
Anyone familiar? Opinions?
