I have taken the hydraulic tappets out of my 20XE and majority of them are really soft to press the little button thing in, and a few are hard.
I was told that if they are soft they have had it, just wondered if this is correct.
The engine hasnt been run for a few years, so I thought that maybe the oil has not been around these for ages causing them to be soft as they are empty. I have never heard the engine run either so don't know if it was tappetty when running.
Im new to all this though so could be totally wrong!
Any info appreciated
Cheers
