well had a little look at her tonight and noticed that the cambelt was not sitting right on the aux and bottom pulley so after struggling with the bottom pulley for 30mins(much swearing!!!!as i have only just cleaned and put cooper slip on it not more then 500 miles ago!!!)took the cambelt off and noticed there is some play in the aux pulley (slight in and out movement!)i have posted a video you cant really see the movement on it(crap pic!) but you can here the knock with the in out movement!so have i been lucky?or unlucky?

Lucky boy,rather that than a fooked bottom end.

 

panic over then

i bet all of a sudden you like the car again

 

dont love it still lol!still not 100% sure its the problem to be honest but cant see it suppose to have any movement on that pulley!will try and get a better video tomorrow,problem is the new pumps are jsut as bad it seems!

 

under the aux pulley, there is a plate held on with 2 set screws, remove these, and remove dizzy and i think the shaft will come out and leave the oil pump drive in place.

maybe the locating plate is loose?

im sure there is a bit of movement in them....

 

that plate should be ok as i tightened those two flathead screws up when i had the engine out to replace all the gaskets
