Duratec follower buckets
hey all,
I am goingt o have to replace some of the buckets on mine but i need to go for thinner (smaller) buckets on 5 valves. When looking online i can only
find one that are 3mm or bigger, i need some that are thinner than 3mm. Do ford do them to needs????
Also am i right in thinking if the bucket says 282 on it, that means 2.82mm???
Any help would be great, really want to get the cams both in with chain etc sorted out. Trying to get to the point to look at fitting in bay as i
reall am going to struggle to fit the charger and especially the alternator in. Going to have some very complicated belt lay out 
cheers guys and gals

All the buckets are 3.xxx mm
So a 282 is a 3.282mm bucket, 312 is 3.312mm etc
Use the excel sheet attached, put in what you have now and what the measured clearances are. Then it will tell you what to swap and what you need to
order.
The cheapest place to get them from is burtons, though they are made to order so take around 2 weeks to arrive from cosworth.

on the excell sheet do i enter the info on first page then go to the secound page and it tell me what ones???
It seems strange that 4 out of the 5 i put in come out as the same 3.25......

Put in what you have and the measured clearances in the white boxes, then click the button at the top and the charts on the right side will change to
show you what you need.
It will specify which ones to swap around on the right hand side.
The second sheet is just for reference.
