hydraulic tappet change

Should they all be changed together or just the faulty ones?

and a thought here, can I replace the hydraulic with solid to adjust manually?

change them all, and yes you can replace hydraulic with solid, rebuilders seem to prefer this as they are easier to install and cheaper. theres a link on the wiki thats worth following http://www.club80-90.co.uk/wiki/index.p ... _resources

I recall that the cam needs to be changed as well if you go to solid lifters - so not as simple...

After reading that bob (thank you) I'm going to clean and adjust.
Kieth was correct about the cams...plus the rods..plus heavier springs

It's that I've noticed that No 1 is noisy and upon inspection found I could move both inlet and exhaust.I'll fetch the lifters out and clean first
