Cam followers
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi to all from sunny Crete in Greece,
After my vacation I am pulling my engine for a refresh and also changing my camshaft which means I need some new followers, which ones ?
Suggestions please with hole or without? I will be ordering from minispares
Thanks in advance
John

Without oil hole. IMO as there is too much drain off with the hole in, without oil hole you get a kind of a sump and the Push rod and follower is continuous. Lubricated.

Thanks for your answer Benross. What rest of you people use?
John

Ive always used these.

as a general rule mini followers are pretty good unless you buy cheap shit, or never change the oil, or use the wrong oil, you want some zddp in there, so somthing like a clasic oil or millers ctv for a performance lump

Found the hi grade isky type from minispares to be excellent in terms of wear and push rod engagement is vastly improved.

-MINI CLUBMAN 1380 TURBO-

in terms of push rod engagement is there any that have a ball and cup sort of setup rather than the v shaped bit that chews out the push rod ends?

or perhaps a trick insert that is round in the top and the v shape that is the lifter then turn the push rod end to be a round match for the insert if u guys get what im saying?
