Title: Hydraulic lifter head on solid lifter diesel?
Post by: mbr on September 03, 2006, 09:31:01 am

Is this an easy swap?
I have a 1.6na diesel with solid lifters ('82). Can a hydraulic lifter head be swapped easily?
Thanks

i did it. i pluged the return oil passage with a hi-temp sylicone. and as for the block, i use a steel renforced epoxy, and it seems to be holding up very well. i also used the steel head gasket.
