i knew as soon as i hit that i was going to regret it!
yes it's a 2wd car, engine, pump. rebuilt the engine 18 months ago due to head gasket rotting away and it hitting 70k so decided to give it a refresh, engine was perfectly quiet before rebuild bar a puff of smoke on over run which turned out to be the turbo, 1st start up of the engine it was tappy on the top end which has never gone away, if you take it for a good blast at a constant high speed when you pull up it's nice and quiet but then sit with it ticking over a couple of minutes and it taps again or turn off then when you start up it taps again.
engine spec is;
ported/polished head
BD14 inlet/standard exhaust cams
7.8:1 CR
new pistons with valve cut outs
mls head gasket
ACL bearings through out
burton high pressure oil pump
