just got my 6 back from an engine rebuild after the can belt snapped. ive had all 16 valves replaced but the engine is a bit tappy. the garage that rebuilt it did tell me the lifters were a bit noisy. i am looking to replace all the liftersa now as the engine runs like a dream but that little tap really annoys me. where can i buy new lifters from and any idea how much a set will cost. Is it a peugeot only part or are there others suppliers? ive had a look on the internet and cant find anything. any help apprieciated. thanks nick

were there any valve guides replaced?

you can get them elsewhere, but you have to be very careful which ones you get as there are some very poor ones about.

how long has it been driven since the head was put back on?

Is it possible they timed up the engine using a pulley that had 'slipped.' If so they may have bent some of those 16 new valves...

I don't understand what youre trying to say Blink

If you don't pin the crankshaft and check the pulley hasn't slipped before taking the belt off then it's quite possible to time it up incorrectly.

Although they may just use tip ex as a few garages do without problems.

valve guides were all reeplaced. they told me they checked the bottom pulley using the time hole on the flywheel, or something like that. they seemed sure the noise is the lifters. Cheers for the suggestions. any ideas on a price for a full new set from pug??? cheers

there isn't a timing hole in the flywheel on a petrol XU, only a diesel one.

Reading up on refitting cams/lifters/head it is possible to bend valves just by turning cams to line up the pulleysSad
As the valves are so big they hit each other if opened in the wrong sequenceHuh?

(Thanks to Welshpug for digging up a thread from 2008 on 205 Drivers Cool )
