Tom,
The smaller diameter lifters were also installed on very early Spitfire
Mk1 engines. I don't know what the changeover serial number is but an
engine I recovered from a parts car a while back had those small lifters
as well.
You should be able to bore the lifter channels to the later size.
You'll need to in order to use a higher lift and longer duration cam.

Subject: Engine ID... thanks...
Thanks to everyone for the help on the engine ID... it is herald, as I
suspected... got one valuable tip to watch for on teardown... the
lifters possibly being a smaller diameter...
(I didnt realize they could make a smaller one .... )
Anyway, I think i am on my way with it now. All help appreciated.
Tom
#4 white spitfire
