    M52B28 cam regrind and lifters

    I am just about to fit a M52 and thinking about doing some cam regrinds. While I am in there I'll replace couple of lazy lifters. Are there common lighter hydraulic lifters for M5X engines? M42 guys use VW lifters I believe. The M52 has a M50 inlet and big bore TB and is chipped.

    M52 lifters are light enough.

      I weighed some lifters the other day.

      M50 35mm lifter - 60g
      M52 33mm llifter - 48g

      The M50 lifter was new and probably not full of oil either.

        Use new stock lifters
        Use stock s52 cams; why bother regrinding when there is already an Oem solution? I know the land down under cannot leave anything alone.....ever!
