Hello folx, new Swedish guy here, & I'm quite confused & sure hope someone can give a seriously good answer...
I just started "stripping for cleaning" 2 -89 318 van engines & they both have different tappets on different sides in the engine!
They're different by the oil-hole on the side & inside there's a ball in one model & a plate in the other but the most confusing I think is that the "big" spring inside at the bottom of the lifters are of different hardness too!!!
& the ball / plate difference makes me wonder if one side gets the oil with higher pressure than the other?
