cam follower questation

[valjo]

hi!

look like one or two of mine cam followers give up
i am planing to chang all of them because they are still original and car has 300k km or more.
questation is, is there any aftermarket option to buy it? audi stuff is quite expencive
any other advice where should i buy it for reasonable price?
is anything wrong if i drive month or two with this bad cam followers?

thanks

I bought a set of these because with the euro to dollar exchange rate they worked out the cheapest option

With 300k it would be a good idea to replace the valve seals and inspect the valve springs too.

yes, i had mine head completly rebuild about 15k km ago, i only put old cam followers because they were good.

so does anyone know should more damage be done if i drive car with noisy cam followers?

After a long time i have seen sticky tappets wear the lobe down on a camshaft, the valve wont be opening properly in the engine and it sounds pants.
