I did it the messy way :lol: Take off the rocker cover, put a sheet over the engine, wings, bumper and winscreen and just turn the engine on. If it works right it should fire a jet of oil straight up into the bonnet. Its a messy way but easy. | |

How did you test the squirters? Mine is tapping and I dont want to buy new lifters if its not the problem. | |

Found out its not the lifters. Theres the blockage somewhere in the oil galleries on the inlet came side. The oil squirter on the exhaust side fires oil about 2 feet high but the squirter on the inlet just seaps (sp) out. Just stuck on what to do next :( Im going to swap the squirters round to see if its the actual squirter and then if its not that im either going to flush the whole system with a proper flush or im going to blow back down the blocked hole with an air line and see if it works. Any more suggestions? | |

Im taking it for a long drive on Friday but ive got to keep it low revs but i might just blip it up to 3.5k to see if it clears but hopefully running it for a while at average revs should clear it. Im just trying to run it in properly :lol: Ive got such an urge just to plant my foot :lol: | |

It was perfect before i took it apart so it must have been something i did putting it back together. I gave them a wipe down but thats about it. They all moved freely before as i turned the head upside down and they all fell out! :lol: Thats why i think i must have caught the side and created a lip so the lifters got stuck. | |

As a matter of interest, you mention a rebuild? Do you know what it was like beforehand? Did you dismantle and clean the lifters? | |

Well it was run the other day for about 5mins then i took it for a short drive today for 10mins so i supose it could be that. It sounds like its only one though as the sounds coming from a specific spot. | |

How long has it run for, my lifters were rattling like a skeleton having a wank in a biscuit tin until I had driven it about 30 mins so they could pump up. | |

Ive just finished rebuilding my engine and it starts and runs fine but it sounds like one of the lifters is either stuck or not moving freely. When i put it all together they all moved fine so i assume ive knocked when we ive put it all back together into one piece. I didnt force any of them in before someone says ive hammered it in :lol: The only thing i can think of is that ive caught the head when i was removing the valves and collects and its caused a little lip and is now causing the lifter to stick. What can i do about it? Leave it and hope it sorts itself or will i have to strip it down and redo it all again? :( Ive been told to use Forte oil flush and see if it helps but i dont know whether its going to be a waste of money or actually help. |
