just done both my head gaskets engine started up ok sounds a bit ticky. going to do a nother oil change on weekend as oil/water mix in engine didnt look good. my question is how long should it take for exhaust fumes to die down. its been parked up for over a month.
-
are they exhaust fumes? After any substantial engine work it takes time for oily hand & finger marks to burn off. :y
-
sorry ye meant exhaust fumes white smoke hoping just water that was in exhaust before heads where done.

There'll be loads of condensate already in the exhaust. It'll all go after you've used it for a short while. :y
-
do u think the ticking will go soon aswell hoping once been running for a bit the oil will of cleared old stuff out of hydraulics.

How long have you had it ticking over? I'd have thought that the 'tappets' should've sorted themselves out in 10 or 15 mins of idling.
It was years ago since I've done any engine work that involved but my Senator's 'tappets' quietened down within 5 mins & that was after I'd emptied them of all oil.

had it ticking over for about 15 mins. also took for a short drive doesnt seem any quieter wasnt this noisy before so just hoping its dirty lifter.
