We got our parts today and I noticed that the pushrods are a bit different. We were sent BR2176 and I think we had 546799 installed in our motor. After doing an Internet search both numbers seem to Pont to the 300tdi engine.

When testing then on one of the rocker arms thereally is a little bit of play (wiggle) with the new ones and the old ones seem to fit much tighter.

The question is. Can I use the br2176 or not?

Cheers
Gary

Recheck the valve clearances after a couple of hundred k's once everything has bedded in and well done enjoy your trip. I'm not jealous at all honest :D
 
Yay, I lost this thread and I've just been scrolling through my history so I could find out if you had blast off. Made up you have it all going again, I bet your bum is now slowly relaxing lol.
