Drumster Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Nigel, I think you should just de-tune it a bit if you wouldn't mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Fox Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Don't know how many miles it has done, not a lot.The engine was rattling slightly at Anglesey, it turns out that the inlet cam vernier pulley adjustment bolts are loose and the cam timing had slipped about 30 degrees. In addition the compression was down on one cylinder.A strip down has revealed witness marks of minor piston valve contact, hence the rattle. There are however no bent valves, they've all lapped in nicely.Just putting it back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
