Check with British Parts Northwest - http://www.bpnorthwest.com/ They have
Tufrited Lifters in stock- Used them for 2 years now in several Spit motors
and no more problems with my lifters and cam wearing - I've tried them all
Moss, Kent and they all went away - FYI - No high spring pressures here as I
go by the Theory of just enough with my very light Valve train-
