Terry is right,

But last time i went to repco, they didn't list the hyd lifters for the 1600, but for the 1800 only, which are the same lifter@ $7.70. But the kia model with the same motor hyd lifter, cost was $5.50. May have just been the person at the counter.
Same lifter just different price.

I could be wrong but it's the same lifter...

For the
Ford laser
Mazda early 323
1800 NA8 mx5
Some KIA cars
and other models.

All are the same I think so will fit Some are only worth the asking price. I used some from Burson's two years and 15000 klms ago(Kia) and have just had to replace them as one was making a hell of a noise.. New ones from Mazda are $50 each and they only had 4 in the country so ended up getting some from Track Dog racing for a lot less but a lot more than REPCO one($370 landed from memory for 16)

Not saying don't buy them but try and get some favourable feedback on the brand..

For what it's worth, i bought mine from Repco, all 16 of them for $96 in 2011. (Before my purchase, I had cleaned each of the originals manually, and decided it'd be easier doing keyhole surgery on an ant, incidentally the manual cleaning failed quite well, making no difference on the tapping noise and costing *many* hours of time)

I don't know how different the lifters are for an NA6 but for my NA8 last night i needed to replace one which had failed on the exhaust side.

Bursons $150 for 16 + two day delivery
Supercheap ($15 each, + 13.95 delivery) $254 for 16 + two day delivery

Repco ($5.90 each) $94.40 for 16 and were in stock + win

the NA8 part number was RHT149 from Nason, VL149 from Precision.
