The problem is that i should change all stuff , shaft and rockers with OEM or nothing (as camshaft with lifters)

The engine was not noisy or tapping bu i prefer to clean an inspect the 2 rockers shaft that seems to be original (130 000 miles). I wonder if i can grind gently (sans paper 1000) the arm and the rockers...

HI, My cam is removed : some lobes are really pitted and more...only few miles ahead...bad aftermarket one ! I will change my lifters too...for a better quality (turner engeneering OEM cam) I just surprised to see a sort of spacer (last pictures) , the fisrt cam bearing, partially cut and not in...

Oil pump inspection : the gears seems good. But i dont find the clearance between them in the manual . I have 0,2 to ,025 mm ...

Any feedback about OEM Eurospare parts ? really OEM or chinese...

Pour ma question, le choix est l'équilibre entre prix et qualité...

To choose: OEM camshaft + aftermarket tappets or vice versa? the ideal being all OEM but that I already know ;)
