[Fot] Peugot lifters 504

[Barr, Scott]

That’s what we heard from the machinist who bored my Spitfire block for the larger lifters.

Please take this with a grain of salt but I recall the lifter bores to be at 5 degrees off vertical.  Measured a long time ago so if someone can verify that it would be safer for all LOL

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

These stock lifters are larger diameter than triumph. Why would anyone look for large diameter lifters?

They are commonly used in the TR-2/3/4 block in place of stock lifters by using a sleeve - in this case they are smaller than stock. If you use the cam developed by Larry Young you can't use those lifters as he needs the full diameter of the stock lifter. The Elgin cams work OK with them though.

I'd not heard of using them in a TR-6 until now though.

Regards, Tony
