Re: 8V1200 roller tappets
Dave, luckily the camshafts on the 2011 engine were fine and like yours the rollerisation was done under warranty. Having now taken out those rollers they seem in decent condition, so I will keep them as emergency spares with 40k on their clock. The failure of the 2013 roller did lead to camshaft da...

8V1200 roller tappets
Having now completed over 100,000 miles on 8V1200 engines, including 20,000 miles in the T4, I feel reasonably qualified to comment on the flat tappet problem. I had one failure on my 2013 engine, which had rollers from new, but only 100 engine numbers from the change over. One roller split and dama...

Re: VMCC Founders Day July 21st 2024
Hi Andy, I'm late to the party as usual, but aiming to make Founders Day in the T4, given that it took my Norge to get me to Shropshire. T4 should be ready by the end of next week. I will be travelling up from Sussex on the day so won't be prompt, but see you there....Jeremy
