Folks,
My engine parts was stored in oily paper to avoid corrosion.
But unfortunately the paper was bleached and properly had a chlorine content. The loss is big and parts need to be bought again.
The tappets is pretty good, but some have some surface pitting.
Very shallow. I am not afraid they breaks down, they will not.
But I have not knowledge how the tappets works ?
Maybe someone may help me?
Do they seal or is the oil film leaking between case and tappet?
Could some pitting reduce pressure some way?
I was told they actually rotate to spread the wear ?
Anyone who know more in detail ?
Look at picture! This is the worst one! The rust easy goes off and
I just slightly used 1200 wet paper. I will check OD with micrometer.
And polish to get smooth surface.
The tappet surface against cam is perfect.
Thanks for all help!
