Hi just wondered if any1 could help me?
i changed the tappits in my s2 escort rs turbo as they where starting to tap loudly. so got some off a make that are apprentely nearly new, put those in and left it running for a bit 2 let the oil get in then. but i took it 4 a sort drive and it started 2 sound really tappitley, like a 1.1 fiesta and the car was running like it was only running on 3 cylinders, so when i got home i put the old ones bak in and its exactly the same.( its running like a bag of shit)

please help!

DID U REPLACE THE ROCKER NUTS .... THEY MAY HAVE BACKED OFF

 

you could have fooked a cam lobe if the "Lifters" your mate gave you were fucked

 

Did you move the crank round when you tightened the rocker nuts to make sure the valves on the cylinder you were tightening were closed?

Remember to use new nuts whenever you remove the rockers too

i was thinking of getting a new cam for it anyway.

Thanks Trev
