Do I need special lifters with D V Ss. I am looking to replace the ones on the 450 due to very slight scoring. Cant tell if the ones in there are heavy duty / race spec or what. I have posted this here on the Grief forum cus you lot spend all you time on this sort of thing.
Help Please

Thanks
Darren

Spring spec & valve train is dependent mainly upon the cam installed, and TVRs have had rather a lot in them... I can only recall std lifters being used, apart from upgrades. My early 430 has double valve springs & std lifters, even tho I would like solids & RRswink

You'll be pleased to learn that the valve/springs in your picture look almost identical to mine - from a Rolls Royce Merlin (ex Hurricane)!

Std lifters are fine with heavy valve springs, and I think I've seen V8 dev posting somewhere thats all he uses , give him a call I'd say
