"Iwannabeareacer" isn't me. I merely asked about substitutes, and knowledgeable/willing people answered. Furthermore, all 3 options John listed are hydraulic.
I didn't say that you were Iwannabercer....nor did I suggest or imply that you were..I respnded to the guy in Sachens about weights being un-important and certainly not
"
much less"...
I have previously posted INA partnumbers showing that the B234
and Ford Cosworth YB 35mm hydraulic followers/lifter/lyftare
were the same part number
And that when used in a stock YBB/YBG the stock engines are rated good for 7000 rpm continuous..And they are...And they are controlling slightly larger valves (which weigh a tiny bit more>
Logically if they word at 7000 continuous and bursts above, reports from unverified rumors that they do something naughty at 6800 should be looked at a little leerily.
The VW ones interchange...The hydraulic portion feels to my thumb softer to plunge
There are certainly other engines using 35mm buckets. I believe stock fuel cut in the VW is 6250...
...VW intake valves are the size of YBB/YBG exhaust valve--32mm
They clearly have an easier job than YBB/YBG or B234 which also has relatively large valves (34mm intakes with a long stem on the B234, 35mm for the YBs..
And the question never asked is why are you planning on replacing the lifters? Rust? hyraulic part not working..
What is the point of asking --to confirm something you've already decided to do?
Planning on new? Know how to check the ones you have?
The knowledgeable and willing people are friendly and want to be helpful, but you don't give enough info for anybody to make a serious response to because they question is not in a context...So they just chat pleasantly and repeat unverified musings from years ago...
helpful, some truthiness..
