Without knowing your technical capability it's impossible to say but bear in mind that you need to remove the camshaft to do this. Taking the cam out means that you have to disturb both the crank to cam and the cam to injector pump timing, so if you're not confident in your abilities then leave it to a pro.
Are you sure it's definitely a tappet, or a worn pin that drives the vacuum pump? I've had good results with Forte engine flush on sticky tappets before, but that will obviously not work if the problem is down to wear. Standard wheels are 14" but to confirm the correct size will be marked on the tyre. Edited by mat_the_cat - 01 Jan 12 at 22:22 |

read this topic you should find it useful, and you'll find the vacuum pump fitted half way along the head (between pots 3 & 4) on the nearside (passenger side RHD) of engine, hope this helps, Jack. |
