Condition:Remanufactured

This listing is for re-facing 4 customer supplied valve tappets. Your worn tappets will be restored to new condition using precision radius surface grinding. This is an excellent choice in cases where new tappets are either expensive, hard to find or completely unavailable. Flat spots, scoring and pitting on the ends of tappets will ruin the tips of valves. New valves or re-ground tips on used valves won't last unless the tappets are also in good condition.  2nd picture is a before/after comparison.

Once this service is purchased simply ship your tappets to our shop and they will be completed and sent back within 1-2 business days. We offer complete cylinder head machine services and custom valve train components specializing in vintage Japanese applications. Thanks for looking!

The Figo – which is apparently colloquial Italian for ‘Cool’ – shares Ford’s small car platform, which means that under the skin it’s a Fiesta.

Thu, 16 Feb 2012

BMW is expanding the use of its N20 turbocharged four-cylinder engine by making it the base powerplant for the 2013 X3 SUV.

Twin-scroll turbocharging means that the exhaust stream of cylinders one and four follow a separate path to the turbine wheel from cylinders two and three.
