Project Estate - A Setback
« on: 01 February 2008, 12:10:11 »

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?

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  :'(

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.
