Can anyone tell me who supplies the tool for depressing the followers on a 1.8 8V engine with solid lifters?
I've tried a few sites without success maybe due to not knowing what it's proper name is, but anyway I could do with one and also where do I buy shims?
No.4 exhaust valve is very loud and it is at the stage where I ned to sort it.
Thanks.

Hi,
Could be wrong but believe it is made by Hazet. Let me know if you find one at a sensible price.

If it's Hazet then the price won't be sensible, but the quality will be first class!

Not made anymore
You can pick them up on eBay.com but expensive
I have a set paid £50 for mine a few years ago

Hi all
Back from our French trip and 2000 miles no problems and now driving even better , but we do get noisy tappets on start up , shim wear or ? only 64000 on the clock genuine and no oil used on our jolly , will be keeping for a long time and the MGA will have to be rested
Cheers Colin
