Ahh. :-[

Sammy as in Samuel Sledgehammer. A tool used by TheBoy for resolving irritating printer driver issues until a couple of years back when it was taken away from him for his own good kidnapped.

I have a smaller rubber version which does less damage.

Interesting.....just had a quick look.

The crank becomes harder to turn once the No 1 exhaust comes on cam.....and at no other point during the 2 rotations of the cam.

Found a few bits of sealer etc on the inlet valve (may well be un-related).

Did a quick check on the followers......there all sitting at the correct height off cam.......but, I am tempted to whip the cams out and have a closer inspection.

Given the findings so far....it looks less like bottom end by the day.

Not quite sure what that would signify?  A lifter 'pumped up' too much, or seized whilst too 'expanded'?

Or an exhaust valve that doesn't like to open for some reason?

when I did this last car, I suspected a broken valve spring for a while.

you can't see much with the followers removed, but could be just enough if the break was at the top.

Then again, there's always one of those spark-plug compressed air adapters to let you take the spring and retainer out......

Hmmm, sure the missing telescopic magnet is too big to do that ;D

Head off again?
