[Fot] Peugot lifters 504

[Mike Harmuth]

"And they've been used in at least one 1296 Spitfire engine, where they're
much larger in diameter than stock."

Now you have my interest, I have a small block 1296 block with worn lifter
bores and my engine builder couldn't find a slightly larger lifter. I'm
guessing he didn't look at a Peugeot parts catalog. Does anyone have a
lifter part number or a spec so I can investigate bringing this block back
from the dead? It was mentioned that the TR bores holes are not parallel to
the block, are the small journal 1296 bore the same?

thanks
