The lightweight lifters have much less material around the crown and have catastrophically failed in service; basically the top can completely collapse.Panthero Coupé quattro 20vt

About draining oil from the head, thats exactly what ive done on my quattro, drilled a hole in the back of the head, approx 1cm above the temp sender, beneath the cams and welded an an-12 fitting and then a hose to the sump, no breather from the cover, all my breathing is in the sump.
And ive used the lw ina lifters, one of them cracked, fortunatly i saw it before it sid any damage, now i use oem liftersComment

Okay and how does that work?
I wasent going to drill it in the head it self but in the cover That sits a bit higherComment
