Flathead adjustable lifters

[John Mackie]

There are 2 types of adjustable tappets redily available, One type has an adjustable screw and a locknut but requires special spanners to get to the end ones, the type I used required drilling the block into the camfolower bore. I used a drill with a right angle head which made the job a lot easier. I have since done the valves on an engine for my carrier. It took more than a day to do them as the valve machine was 1/2 a km away. Next time I will fit a set of adjustibles! they are available from outlets here in Aus. John
