framan 0 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Hi has anyone come across problems with the tappets in the AAA engine when building back up? I drained them but they are still solid when empty and i know of problems with the BAM engines tappets which can cause the valves to sit open and hit the pistons. Any info would be appreciated. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 i dont normally drain them if anything i put them in a tub of fresh oil to get them to refill ..... should see bubbles and the dirty oil come out of them .... Link to post Share on other sites
ROBSVENTO 0 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 If you bled them out it means they are fully closed so no valve damage will occour.. Make sure engine is just off tdc before bolting down cams just incase !! Link to post Share on other sites
