no it was in a 76 van said recoed not that i take much interest in word of mouth.it sounds very like the cam failing on the 1800

👍👍😂🙅🥷😬🤓
What oil are you using ?
59 beetle,61 beetle,72 dual cab,58 beetle,55 splitty,
65 manx,74 camper,60 Rat beetle.....and many more to come
if mismatch lifters and cams are used then the metallurgy are very likely to be different.
Which always results in premature cam or lifer failure, depending on which is the softer metal. They must be the same metal/hardness in order to last any length of time.
