advice on tappet noise
Just fitted a new donor cosworth engine,, when it was running in the workshop it was so quiet no tappet noise or anything, left it running for 10/15 mins,, to get it warmed up as well
Just give a good run and the tappets have started to be noisey, it sounds like a different engine(
Also the Oil guage goes up to 8bar and doesnt move while the ignition is on..
Any ideas???

Just a thought
I have for a few years been having trouble with one of my combis, Some times it would go for days or weeks ok, then out of the blue over heat for no reason at all, well not one I could find. Eventualy got real bad. While I was having this prob my tappets were hell noisy. The other week I sorted the problem.. suddenly the tappet have gone great nice and quiet and the engine ticks over better it is a diferent engine.???
I think it could have been cold or hot spots in the engine that made the tapets noisy, as I had to flush it as part of the overheating cure. Check you do not need to top up water now you have ran the engine.
Just a thought good luck Pete

The oil has been changed to Titan race pro, 10/50
I was wondering if it could have anything to do with cam timming as they changed the belt when the engine was being fitted??
