Errr, MDTM, do you know when you'll have time to pop those lifters in the Silver Bullet? ::) ::) ::)

If you need more lifters, I may have 24 here  ;D

Remember though that its quite possible there were 2 noises.....as we have already found an exhaust leak in this area (rectified).....and now there is a very cammy sound left.
Which may be what threw us - the thing, to my ears, purred into the garage sweetly.

The EGR, yes, we did disturb that, so I can see why that happened.  But the lifters, thats just coincidence?


Lifter, I am pretty sure its only one.

Parts have arrived any way so will make a start this evening
Hope that solves it, as I'm really looking forward to getting it back :y :y

Then to persuade Kevin Wood and chrisgixer to touch it again to get the LPG up and running - thats got to be worth a poll at some point, will they or won't they ;D ;D ;D

I can pop over/down if it ties up with my rest days :y

As I said, I suspect your Rover. It's getting jealous, so it sucks oil out of the nearest V6 until it dies, then it needs to get rid of the excess oil, so it leaks. It makes perfect sense. ;D

The superior Rover does not use/lose a drop of oil.  Coolant, well its a K series, so it uses the constant loss method of replacing ;D

So, are we convinced yet

Looks pretty knackered (and conclusive) to me :y :y

He needs to strip the Golden Nugget down now and check... That sounds very rough :o :o and I reckon it's towards the bulk head of the passenger bank, although hard to be certain when the clatter is echoing off 2 walls and a garage door on a quiet Sunday Lunch time ::)

Sounds louder than the Silver Bullet but hard to tell when listening to recordings as comparison

Forgive my amateurishness, but what is the video showing? I can see that you can push one valve and not the other, but what does that mean?

It's actually only the lifter he's pushing... And it means the lifter is breaked :y :y
