130hp 4KQ motors?

[alan pritchard]

just looked at your site ref the nf engine, and i have a few q's. the nf
head is on solid lifters still? i thought that being a 2.3 it would have
hydraulic tappets? as the 2.2 (1984ish) came in in the uk with hydraulic
tappets. i believe youve told me before that this head carries bigger
valves, thats just the inlet? also on the lower view there is an oil baffel
plate obscuring half the crank, any idea what the idea is behind this, i
know i dont have one. correct me if im  wrong, thanx!!


84ish cgt (ke engine) older audi bits for some unknown reason....
