buying new cam followers is there any I should avoid

According to Graham Russell, most of the new ones are rubbish, he says if you can find some old 850 ones grab em & use them.

GR says the Isky pattern ones are OK, and the Minispares lightened ones.

where can u get the push rods for the 998 /1100 engine I have seen plenty of 1275 pushrods avalible BBut no ones for the smaller engines. Is ther Any difference or can i use the 1275 Push rods.

You can't use 1275 push rods in a small bore. The block is taller on a big bore (so needs longer push rods). They are not interchangeable.

I'll swap you a set of small bore rods for a set of 1275 push rods

Push rods or cam followers?? If cam followers, you need to rebore the follower holes in the block.... no good!

Well i dont Need any ATM but further down the track i might need some sepending how the condition of them are, Once the engine is getting pulled down for surgery Id say in about 2 months or longer we will bepreping for paint within the next month. Just taking my time making sure things are done nicely. i know when fitting a New cam you should always replace the Followere but im unsure about the push rods.

No need to change pushrods, unless they are bent. Roll them on a flat machined surface to find out.

Now thats interesting...this may be the only redeeming feature to be found in the humble 848cc??

Don't get your hopes up Mick- 850 ones were nothing special, they used to wear and chip just like all the others always did.. eventually.
They were all just chill cast iron. I'd never use old s/h ones on a fresh cam.
Now, OTOH if you DO have some NOS 1962 850 ones.. use em.
