All dependes on what cam you have fitted, if std 13" HOT is they way to go, or if your going to give it a hard time 15" is fine

It's a shame that they never put hydraulic lifters in these little British engines. Sure would have eliminated a problem for some. Also would run quieter. But then it wouldn't be a "B", would it? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif PJ
