Just done an oil change on the taxi this afternoon :P

let it warm up a bit, and all was good untill the oil hit around 55/60 celcius, as when revved, there is a gurgley rattle coming from the tappets

now this gurgley rattle does not occur untill the oil has warmed up, and the engine speed is increased above 2500/3000 rpm

is this a sign that they are well and truely donald ducked?

the oil i put in was Silkoline 5/40w - since its winter and cold, i thought it would be a better option over the 10/50 - oh well, not to worry


On another note, excellent service from Simon (Opie Oils)


anyone any gen?

 

If i were you i'd get some GENUINE ones, i think GGR's webshop on e-bay has them for about Ł80

get them quick as retail is well above that!!!

i'm on the case

i've got some new genuine INA ones in the garage that have been soaking in oil for about.............................oooooooo 16 weeks

i'll throw them in tomorrow and hop for the best

 

are they defo cossie INA followers?? i think they also made some for granada or something similar that aren't suitable

(i'm not on about the VW myth BTW)

got a set ready to go in when the rebuild commences, the old set were quite good too, but i threw them straight in the bin

 

they are genuine INA items i know for a fact, they came from graham goode

always handy to have a spare set tho

 

don't have a spare cambelt and tensioner, new piston rings and new loom handy in that garage of yours????

before i order

 

 

Cam - or right royally fucked, if thats how you like it

Paul your luck is the same as mine BAD
