Are these Tappets/Cam followers any good?
I always read and hear how important it is for this part to have a clean, smooth surface and the truth is I didn't understand why: If the center is flat, where the pushing is taking place - what do we care about the rest of the surface?
Another question is about the tappet guide bushings: How do I know that they are not worn and have gone beyond measure? The tappets sit inside well without play when lubricated.

Thanks ahistand. You make an
You make an interesting point here.
I saw that these followers can be purchased in oversizes, but when oiling the old ones and inserting them, I can not feel any play in those sleeves or bores.
So I think I will order the STD size.
