Not sure if this is the right place for this but is anyone expert on the modifications done to the Cam follower (the Tappets) for the Z19DTH as fitted to the 1.9TiDs?
I can see there was a change after Engine Number 17180894 and the name changed from 'Valve Lifter' to 'Tappet' but are they physically different and is there an issue using the earlier/later part in a later/earlier engine?
The only discernable difference I can see in the couple of sets I have is the marking bottom centre of the follower face. Some show an 'I' and others either a 'B' or Infinity symbol '∞'.

Forum rules
When you put a new thread up in the Workshop please put your car's year & model in the post subject/thread title, along with just a brief indicator of the problem.
Year - Car Model - Brief description of issue. FOR EXAMPLE- ''1999 9-3 - Problems starting when hot.''
For Tech II issues or help requests please state the following in your thread title ''Tech 2 help required - state issue and your location ''.
Please also add as much information as you can about the problem, to your post.
This will help us to help you, without having to ask basic details such as what car you have.
We also ask that whenever possible posters update threads when a solution to a problem is found/resolved, therefore helping others with a ready reference to similar problems with their cars.
Threads with non-compliant titles will be moved to The Pit Lane (in which no replies can be posted, but the OP can edit the thread - upon which the thread will be released to the workshop forum, note compliant threads will be moved back when the mod/admin team next visit the Pit Lane. if your thread has been sat in the Pit Lane for 24hrs+ after editing, pm Tech II to request release)
Nb. Generic thread titles for truly generic issues that genuinely are not model or variant specific (such as "how do I change the spring in an forge wastegate actuator") are acceptable
**The first 5 posts for new users require individual moderator approval (which they will only get it if they are in line the rules of the forum). Please be patient and allow time for that to happen, and avoid duplicate postings.**
