    Default VP lifters

    Hey guys, my motor in my VP V6 is making a lot of lifter noise, and its only getting louder, yes i could try things to quiten it but i know its a sign of wear.

    Now to my question,

    Where can i buy a set of lifters from??? Preferable in SA, but any suggestions are great.

    Cheers

    LOL, don't take me 100% but im pretty sure Chev 350 lifters/ Toyota 1Y,2Y,3Y lifters are also the same as your lifters, 0.842" diameter. maybe try one of these for them cheaper.

    actually i havent looked into that but i doubt theyre roller lifters. I know that vt roller motors are the same as we use the same lifters in these too
