After rebuilding the top end of that Estate and getting it perfect...
I did an oil change last night using 10/40, cos the old stuff was horrible.
I used the car at lunchtime today, and I now have a permanently very noisy lifter, just like Tunnies :'( :'( :'(
I can't be bothered to strip the top end down AGAIN >:(
-
Do the lifters in the new heads match the oil pump in the block WRT old style / new style?

Yep. I made sure of this. :(
-
Can't be bothered, as good excuse to buy the facelift?
You still need to sell the old estate if you do?
-
Mainly because I have nowhere to work on cars anymore, certainly not major work :'(

Yep you sure do and its got too be done for you sell it babe :-*

I WILL fix it, I guess it's just a bit disheartening when you get a setback following everything working so well.
Shouldn't take me too long to whip cambelt out and get the covers off. I guess it's also a good opportunity to change that knackered Vacc tank.

yeah, i know what its like. I have most of last year with Project Tractor!
My weekend is going to comprise of fixing her Rover (possibly HG - water loss and oil loss), and the MV6 (rear shocks, front discs and pads so I can get rid of those awful pattern ones, plus whatever the problems she mentioned yesterday).
I hope its warm and dry, else I'll be asking Tunnie to use his garage...
