That’s my video. And I have 2 running them right now.
Those springs need to be removed and then they’re fine.

I have sold about 10 sets so far after Colin brought them to my attention.
Remove the springs as per Colin's video.
$13.75 each.

Those are lightweight VW lifters I had DLC coated. This happened before INA started treating lifters for VW.

They are the same weight as the original VW light weight lifters but with a black nitrite coating.
