Identifying lifters help

Post by farmer rob »

I wondered if anyone could identify a set of lifters for me. They weigh 94 grams and have 29mm feet. They came with a performance engine I bought in pieces and I wondered if they were matched to an Engle cam, all the bit's are new.

Many thanks Rob

Got a pic?

At 94g, they sound like Scat heavyweight lifters.

Thanks for the reply! The chap I bought it off thought they were scat lifters but all the scat one's I have found so far on-line, were lighter or didn't show a weight. I thought I would use CB lifters on this but thought I could use them on something else if I could Identify them. I will post a couple of photo's tomorrow if you think it would help.

Cheers Rob

See if this works, not posted a photo on here for a while lol

The original VW lifters I have seem to have feet about 5mm thick, these are tapered, about 3.5mm on the edge and about 4.75mm by the upright

Stock lifters are 82g. Scat "Lightweight" lifters are 94g. That is why I call them Scat heavyweight lifters.
