Could that be a weak valve spring, or is defo lifter?  Just thinking out aloud really.

Which cylinder is it?

And I'm sure the spring will get checked when the lifter is removed, just in case :y :y

So..... does this mean the Silver Bullet is resurrected in the nick of time?  :)
Is the Golden Nugget just copying the Silver Bullet, with a bit of attention seeking behaviour?  :-?

Let's hope so. TB is due a little good fortune for a change  :y

Intrigued I am ....   why would taking the inlet manifold off and fitting the lpg stuff suddenly cause a lifter to malfunction ??? I can see no link between THAT work and THIS problem ....  and I don't believe in coincidences of this magnitude ....

I think we are in the realms of coincedence here.  And a further coincidence being the Golden Nugget appears to have developed exactly the same issue, that engine hasn't been touched at all :o :o :o

Yep...valve spring all fine.....the lifter is goosed......and saved for prosperity.

Cams back in, cam caps fitted, cam cover back on and cam sprockets back on.

Might get chance to finish the rest tomorrow evening.

I also dont beleave in coincidences......hence why a very methodical approach has been used.....

The weak lifter is on no 1 cylinder....inlet.

Coincidences do, rarely, happen... I think this may be proof of that.

It is strange though :-/ :-/

Sounds like the Golden Nugget problem may be similar, although we did discuss the fat is sounds like it's running on 5 and smells a bit "Unburnt Fuel" like too so possibly a lead problem too.

It's definitely like Diesel Knock.
