[Matchless]

I am going to put it all back together tonight and go for a start-up.....then some T2 tests.

Mark, if you want an excuse to delay this another day or two then I'm in need of a strong pair of hands on some 4m worktops.

Dow, you should have called me.

Hmmmm......well, what can I say....

Still dead?

[Marks DTM Calib]

Who knows, still puting it back together and its F cold!

About another hour yet to complete assembly and then test....

[feeutfo]

if you catch cold, who is gonna repair that car.. go home

[Marks DTM Calib]

Its back together and running.

No fault codes

No exhaust tick

A light tap noise can be heard, I have heard worse though

Injector cutoff test done......all cylinders firing, tap noise does not change in volume.....this effectively rules out the bottom end as the lack of firing on a cylinder would reduce the load on little and big end bearings hence the noice generaly stops or at least significantly quietens down under this test.

Now, I did notice a slightyly weak follower on No 1 cylinder inlet valve no 2.....

So.....2 choices.....get it stinking hot and see if it quietens down or (and the prefered choice), swap the followers on No1 bank.

do you feel better/worse/indifferent to the noise before (granted you only heard on phone) ?

[Entwood]

Sounds like you've virtually fixed it ...   

Nice one

Difficult to tell given I only heard a recording and over the phone.

To me, its not bad.....but, could be better.

I have some Lifters if some are needed in fact a whole bank as the other bank are for someone else

I thought it sounded bad enough I didn't want to drive it  :-/

I know it hasn't run for more than 5mins in last month, but would like to think oil is good/fresh enough that it should circulate well? Or have I misunderstood?

[Marks DTM Calib]

Deal done on a set of known good lifters.

Oil should be fine....it will only take 3 hours or so to fit them and jobs a good un

Not sure I understand why letting it roast would/could quieten down more than running for a few mins (surely after a few mins, the oil should have pumped up lifters (as I assume that lifters aren't clogged with old oil, given the oil service strategy))?
